A Tunable Hyperspectral Imager for Detection and Quantification of Marine Biofouling on Coated Surfaces

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.

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.

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.

Assessing the Potential Regrowth Ability of Microalgae Using Hull Cleaning Wastewater from International Commercial Ships

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 ...
