Biofouling dynamic and its impact on ship powering and dry-docking

Ocean Engineering, 2022
Biofouling of ship hulls is a significant financial burden to shipping companies affecting ship performance and shipping costs through increased fuel consumption and associated maintenance costs. It also induces a serious environmental footprint through increased gas emissions. In addition, the application of antifouling coating harms marine life.

Disentangling the biogeography of ship biofouling: barnacles in the Northeast Pacific

Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2016
AbstractAimThe movement of biofouling organisms by ships results in the transfer of marine species across biogeographical boundaries on a global scale. We used barnacles, a relatively well‐studied taxon, to investigate the extent to which modern commercial vessels disperse biofouling species beyond their current known ranges.LocationVessels ...

Economic impact of biofouling on a naval surface ship

Biofouling, 2010
In the present study, the overall economic impact of hull fouling on a mid-sized naval surface ship (Arleigh Burke-class destroyer DDG-51) has been analyzed. A range of costs associated with hull fouling was examined, including expenditures for fuel, hull coatings, hull coating application and removal, and hull cleaning.

Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Biofouling

2014
Apart from conventional vessel-source pollution, other problems—such as harmful aquatic organisms carried by ballast water and introduction of aquatic invasive species by bio-fouling—are also having devastating effects on the world marine environment.

Biofouling Characterization and its Effect on Resistance of Surface Ship

Volume 7B: Ocean Engineering, 2019
Abstract Manufacture of coatings to tackle the biofouling menace has been of prime concern for the shipping industry since industrial revolution. Even though many types of coatings exist in the market, they have not been able to wipe out the problem of biofouling completely. The proposed approach which combines both the resistance due to

SHIPS AS HABITATS: BIOFOULING — A PROBLEM THAT REQUIRES GLOBAL SOLUTIONS

COSMOS, 2008
Colonization of ship hulls by living organisms, which occurs on molecular, microbial and macro organism levels, decreases ship performance, increases costs and is a biological problem with global consequences. Managing fouling is necessary for efficient economics and to prevent environmental damage due to introduction of invasive species. Colonization

Economic and environmental aspects of ship hull biofouling

2017
Biofouling, which is the accumulation of various marine organisms on a ship hull, is a very serious problem from both the economic and environmental point of view. It may cause a significant increase in ship resistance and consequently increased fuel consumption and CO2 emission, while reducing the overall hydrodynamic performance of the ship.
