Biofilms associated with ship submerged surfaces: implications for ship biofouling management and the environment [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Biofouling (including initial microbial biofilms) of submerged ship surfaces can directly impact vessel operations, leading to increases in fuel usage, greenhouse gas emissions, and the likelihood of non-indigenous species (NIS) transfer and impacts ...

Time-dependent biofouling growth model for predicting the effects of biofouling on ship resistance and powering [PDF]
Ocean Engineering, 2019 This paper presents a time-dependent biofouling growth model which enables prediction of the effect of biofouling on ship resistance and powering for day-to-day evaluation. Initially, antifouling coating tests data were employed in the model to predict coating performance over time by considering the ship operating profile and shipping route.

Debris capture during in-water cleaning of ship biofouling
Frontiers in Marine ScienceShip biofouling interferes with vessel operations and spreads non-indigenous species. While in-water cleaning (IWC) with debris capture is increasingly promoted as a management strategy, key elements remain poorly defined, including which materials must ...

Survival of ship biofouling assemblages during and after voyages to the Canadian Arctic. [PDF]
Mar Biol, 2016 Human-mediated vectors often inadvertently translocate species assemblages to new environments. Examining the dynamics of entrained species assemblages during transport can provide insights into the introduction risk associated with these vectors. Ship biofouling is a major transport vector of nonindigenous species in coastal ecosystems globally, yet ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Biofouling is a long-standing challenge for ships because it can interfere with operations and increases vessel drag, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. More recently, ship biofouling has also been recognized as a leading vector for global transfers

Effect of ship hull form on the resistance penalty from biofouling [PDF]
Biofouling, 2018 Hull biofouling is a well-known problem for the shipping industry, leading to increased resistance and fuel consumption. Considering that the effects of hull form on resistance are known to be higher for a less slender hull, it is hypothesised in this paper that the effect of biofouling roughness on resistance is also dependent on the hull form.

Predicting the effect of biofouling on ship resistance using CFD [PDF]
Applied Ocean Research, 2017 This paper proposes a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based unsteady RANS model which enables the prediction of the effect of marine coatings and biofouling on ship resistance and presents CFD simulations of the roughness effects on the resistance and effective power of the full-scale 3D KRISO Container Ship (KCS) hull.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Submerged ship surfaces are often inhabited by diverse sessile and sedentary marine organisms, which can directly impact vessel operations and increase the likelihood of non-indigenous species (NIS) establishment and impacts. Ship in-water cleaning (IWC)

Low salinity as a biosecurity tool for minimizing biofouling on ship sea chests [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2018 Biofouling is a major vector in the transfer of non-native species around the world. Species can be transported on virtually all submerged areas of ships (e.g.
