Biofouling accumulation on a ship’s hull has a direct impact on fuel consumption and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and may pose a biosecurity risk due to the presence of non-indigenous, potentially invasive aquatic species.  

The antifouling system (AFS) is designed to protect the underwater surfaces from biofouling accumulation. Underwater inspections (UWI) of ships are typically carried out to monitor and verify the condition of the underwater hull and the AFS.

Recipients of UWI reports are reliant on the quality of information provided to make adequate decisions relating to hull performance, AFS condition and performance, biofouling management and associated risk assessments. Consistent and good quality reporting is key to effective underwater hull condition record-keeping and management.

SP21421-2017 Pictorial Standard for underwater Evaluation of Fouling Degree on Ship Hulls

Product Number: 21421-SG
ISBN: 1-57590-379-2
Publication Date: 2017
$109.00

One of the key factors affecting ship perfor­mance, particularly fuel consumption and associated GHG (Green House Gas) emis­sions, is the degree of biofouling on the immersed hull and propeller(s). Rates of biofouling accumulation vary considerably, depending on the suitability, age and physi­cal condition of the coating system(s) ap­plied to the hull, the voyaging, anchoring and lay up patterns of the ship, and the geo­graphical regions where these take place.

NACE SP0616-2022, Standard for Hull Roughness Measurements on Ship Hulls in Dry Dock

Product Number: NACE SP0616-2022
Publication Date: 2022
$109.00

This standard practice provides a standardized method of measuring hull roughness to enable reproducible and comparable readings from similar gauges regardless of geographical location.

One of the factors affecting a ship's performance and fuel consumption is the roughness of its foul-free underwater hull. the Condition and type of paint system used may have a major influence on hull roughness and ship performance. Hull roughness has a major impact on vessel fuel efficiency and exhaust emissions. This standard focuses on the mechanical roughness of the hull.
