A computational model for microbial colonization of an antifouling surface
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Biofouling of marine surfaces such as ship hulls is a major industrial problem. Antifouling (AF) paints delay the onset of biofouling by releasing biocidal chemicals.

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.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Ship biofouling is recognized as a significant pathway for the introduction and spread of invasive organisms. The in-water cleaning of ship hulls generates wastewater that includes antifouling paint residues and biofouling organisms, which inevitably ...

Numerical Study of Effects of Inhomogeneous Roughness on the Ship Friction Resistance [PDF]
BIO Web of ConferencesThe cleanliness of a ship hull is crucial for energy saving. Biofouling, which can cause microbiological corrosion, can also increase ship resistance.

The Effect of Hull Biofouling on Parameters Characterising Ship Propulsion System Efficiency
Polish Maritime Research, 2015 One of most important issues concerning technical objects is the increase of their operating performance. For a ship this performance mainly depends on the efficiency of its main pro-pulsion system and the resistance generated during its motion on water.

Proactive In-Water Ship Hull Grooming as a Method to Reduce the Environmental Footprint of Ships
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The application of a proactive grooming program to manage the fouling control coatings applied to ship hulls provides an opportunity to address the climate crisis, invasive species and the discharge of biocides into the marine environment.

Long-Term Ultraviolet Treatment for Macrofouling Control in Northern and Southern Hemispheres
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 The biofouling of marine structures must be controlled if crippling operational and maintenance costs are to be avoided and biological invasions prevented.
