Biofouling Inspections Protecting Vessels and Marine Ecosystems
Biofouling occurs when marine organisms like algae, barnacles, and mussels accumulate on submerged surfaces such as ship hulls. This buildup creates several problems: Increased Drag: Biofouling increases friction between the hull and water, slowing the ship down and significantly increasing fuel consumption. Structural Damage: Some organisms can bore into or weaken metal and coatings, leading...
