Abstract

The goal of obtaining maximum efficiency, conservation of energy and reducing emissions in the marine transportation sector is greatly hindered by biofouling. While mechanical scrubbing, water jet treatment and other measures are in place, scientists in the modern day are inclining more toward the preventive solution. At the same time, this is environment-friendly yet has the recovering ability despite prolonged exposure to the elements. One such research, as well as some contemporary research, have been briefly summarized here.
