Demonstration of a 100% non-toxic hull protection and anti-fouling system contribution to zero emissions to the aquatic environment and saving 3-8 % heavy fuels (ECOTEC-STC)
Start date: Jun 1, 2006, End date: Dec 1, 2009,
Background
Marine structures such as ship hulls need protection against corrosion and the attachment of marine organisms such as algae and barnacles, known as biofouling.
