Survival of ship biofouling assemblages during and after voyages to the Canadian Arctic [PDF]
Marine Biology, 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 ...

A new nematode species, Chromadorina tangaroa sp. nov. (Chromadorida: Chromadoridae) from the hull of a research vessel, New Zealand [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Chromadorina is a globally distributed, largely marine nematode genus frequently found on a variety of organisms, including macro- and microalgae and crustaceans, as well as artificial substrates such as settlement plates and ship hulls.

DEVELOPMENT OF MODEL-DRIVEN DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM TO SCHEDULE UNDERWATER HULL CLEANING
Brodogradnja, 2022 Maritime industries are constantly searching for a method to enhance ship efficiency, with increasing concern about the environmental impact and rising fuel prices. Marine biofouling is one of the factors that increase ship fuel consumption.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Fouling organisms reduce a ship’s fuel efficiency and disturb the ecosystem. Therefore, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and many nations have enacted laws that mandate periodic hull cleaning for removing fouling organisms. However, cleaning

Preventative Biofouling Monitoring Technique for Sustainable Shipping
Sustainability, 2023 Monitoring and evaluating the biofouling status of a ship’s hull and its effects on the vessel’s performance attracts the attention of both researchers and industry. In this study, two types of monitoring equipment were used to observe organism growth on two fishing vessels for approximately six months.

Capturing the effect of biofouling on ships by incremental machine learning [PDF]
Applied Ocean Research, 2023 Performance data from ships is subject to distributional shifts, sometimes referred to as concept drift. In this study, synthetic monitoring data is simulated for the KVLCC2, considering publicly available reference data and a semi-empirical simulation framework.

Sensors, 2022 Fouling control coatings (FCCs) are used to prevent the accumulation of marine biofouling on, e.g., ship hulls, which causes increased fuel consumption and the global spread of non-indigenous species.

Impact of Hard Fouling on the Ship Performance of Different Ship Forms
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 The successful optimization of a maintenance schedule, which represents one of the most important operational measures for the reduction of fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emission, relies on accurate prediction of the impact of cleaning on the ship ...
