AMPP SP21487-2021, Inspecting and Reporting Biofouling and Antifouling Systems’ Condition during Underwater Inspections on Ships

Product Number: AMPP SP21487-2021

Publication Date: 2021

$109.00

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.

Making an Eco-Efficient Choice for Controlling Fouling Growth in Your Vessel

Product Number: 41211-615-SG

Author: Trevor Solomon

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

This paper considers the environmental and financial impact of various antifouling coatings for ships hulls. To do this comparison an eco-efficiency analysis was conducted comparing three different fouling control systems which offer the same customer benefit of a clean underwater hull. The results clearly demonstrated that fluoropolymer foul release technology can offer this benefit in the most eco efficient way having lower impacts on both the environment and on the economics of using that technology.

Precision Navigation For Hull Crawling Robots - Efficient Robots For Automated Grooming

Product Number: 51322-17660-SG

Author: Karl Lander

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

The impacts of marine biofouling to the maritime and naval communities, as well as the planet as a whole are well documented. Whether its increased fuel consumption and carbon emissions, transport of invasive species, or that it just plain looks bad, marine biofouling needs to be addressed more aggressively, be that timely removal of growth, or increased monitoring of hull condition to know when it’s time for removal. Current methods of removing growth are costly both in time and money, potentially environmentally unfriendly and risk impacting the health of the ship’s coating system.

True Value of Quality: A Case History of a Success Story

Product Number: 41206-243-SG

Author: Benjamin S. Fultz

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

A case study of how poor initial quality control resulted in a complete coatings rework of the underwater bottom (exterior hull) of a large Floating Storage Unit (FSU) and how a good quality control program, during rework, resulted in the documented long term performance of the second application underwater hull coating system.
