Managing Biofouling from Ships in Indonesia: Regulation versus Implementation
The IMO Glofouling project, which was launched at the end of 2018, ended in early 2025. Indonesia, as one of the leads partnering countries (LPC), has responsibilities to implement the IMO guidelines in biofouling management. The present paper reviews the resolution MEPC.378 (80) together with the Indonesian Government Regulation as guidelines for the ...
