Why you need a biofouling management plan

It’s easy for us to say that you need a biofouling management plan.

But why do you?

  • Stay compliant = avoid delays and fines: Global regulations and requirements for protection against biological pollution are growing in both numbers and impact. Non-compliance can become expensive both in terms of time and money and to avoid delays and fines, a biofouling management plan is your ally. Documenting essentials like antifouling systems, vessel operating profiles, and cleaning activities will ensure you meet the standards set by authorities.
  • Increase operational efficiency and save on fuel: Biofouling increases hull drag, which can lead to up to 22% higher fuel consumption. With a management plan, you can minimize these effects, keeping your vessels efficient and reducing fuel costs—directly impacting your bottom line.
  • Take part in the green transition and reduce your CO2 emissions: We all need to reduce our CO2 emissions. To live up to market expectations, to achieve competitive advantages, and because it’s the right thing to do 🌎 A biofouling management plan will help you cut emissions and contribute to the green transition.
