Investigation of the effectiveness of antifouling coatings for the protection of fixed structures

Marine fouling is a significant problem not only for sailing ships, but also for fixed structures, including naval vessels and submarines that have been in docks or piers for a long time. At the same time, the vast majority of industrially produced coatings are intended for use on moving vessels. This article presents the experience of conducting field tests in different water areas on fixed samples and laboratory studies of several types of antifouling coatings. The relationship between the results of laboratory tests and natural tests is shown, and optimal conditions for providing field natural tests are given.
