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.

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 ...

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

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.

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

Time based ship added resistance prediction model for biofouling

, 2018
The selection of antifouling coating is a significant process that affects fuel consumption of ships and therefore it is important to select the most effective coating system.

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.

Experimental Investigation of Biofouled Ship Control Surface Performance

Journal of Fluids Engineering
Abstract Marine biofouling threatens ship safety by causing unexpected control surface performance. To explore these adverse biofouling effects, this paper presents the results of wind tunnel testing using a model-scale, low aspect ratio NACA 0018 control surface.
