The operational performance of ships, which is reflected through fuel consumption and
carbon dioxide emission, is affected by various influential parameters. One of the important …

Crystallization fouling poses significant safety, operational, economic, and environmental
challenges. It is therefore imperative to mitigate crystallization fouling using accurate …

Biofouling attaches to immersed surfaces in between hull cleanings. Due to high speeds
and relatively short port times, biofilm often attaches to the immersed surfaces of …

An accurate prediction of the ship added friction-resistance due to (bio) fouling is important
in the maritime sector in view of environmental sustainability. For industrial needs, the …

Zwitterionic polymer brushes were grafted from bulk polyethylene (PE) by air plasma
activation of the PE surface followed by radical polymerization of the zwitterionic styrene …

Marinas are known to act as species reservoirs, facilitating the persistence and spread of
non-native species. Monitoring of marinas for non-native species is therefore an essential …

Shipbuilding and ship** areas are technically dependent to each other since ship** is
the end user in the shipbuilding industry. One of the biggest maritime challenges arose due …

Marine biofouling on a ship's hull and propeller increases the resistance of the ship moving
through water and reduces the propulsion efficiency of the ship. Estimating the effect of …

This study investigates the crucial role of surface roughness caused by biofouling in
contributing to increased drag in fast planing vessels. Through rigorous computational fluid …

Sažetak An awareness of the drag increase brought on by biofouling's roughness on the
ship hull is one technique to cut emissions aboard ship. However, predicting the increased …
