A Review of Biofouling of Ships’ Internal Seawater Systems
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Internal seawater systems (ISS) are critical to the proper functioning of maritime vessels. Sea water is pumped on board ships for a broad array of uses, primarily for temperature control (e.g., engine and electrical systems), cooling capacity (e.g., air
