Hull & Biofouling

Biofouling on hulls, sea chests, box coolers and seawater systems increases drag, fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. It also reduces cooling performance and adds to maintenance costs. With stricter biofouling management rules, such as the IMO Biofouling Guidelines and port state requirements, prevention and regular condition assessment are becoming more important for shipowners and ship managers. Chemical-free ultrasonic antifouling prevents marine growth continuously, even in confined and hard-to-reach areas. The result is cleaner systems, longer service intervals and more efficient, environmentally friendly vessel operation.
