Our Strategic Partner BIMCO is asking industry views on biofouling management. Complete the survey here if you are interested ⬇️
Your views needed – please complete our new biofouling survey Why participate? In 2023 the IMO adopted new “Guidelines for the control and management of ships' biofouling to minimize the transfer of invasive aquatic species" (the Biofouling Guidelines) which are intended to provide a globally consistent approach to the management of biofouling. At present work at IMO is focussed on providing guidance on inspections and in-water cleaning - two elements that have significant influence on ship operations. As such it is extremely important that shipowners have their say in what is practical and what is needed to realise the benefits of biofouling management in, for example, energy efficiency and GHG reductions. BIMCO will use the outcome to provide evidence-based information on industry practices to help ensure that IMO guidelines are pragmatic and practical.
