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.

Matching Forces Applied in Underwater Hull Cleaning with Adhesion Strength of Marine Organisms
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2016 Biofouling is detrimental to the hydrodynamic performance of ships. In spite of advances in hull coating technology, a ship must usually undergo underwater hull cleaning to remove biofouling during her in-service time.

Experimental Determination of Added Hydrodynamic Resistance Caused by Marine Biofouling on Ships [PDF]
Transportation Research Procedia, 2016 AbstractAn extensive series of towing tests using flat plates covered with artificial barnacles were carried out at the Kelvin Hydrodynamics Laboratory (KHL) at the University of Strathclyde. The tests were designed to examine the effect of the coverage percentage of barnacles on the resistance and effective power of ships, over a range of Reynolds ...
