Participants observed a live demonstration of in-water cleaning techniques, crucial for ongoing biofouling management efforts. The event underscored the significance of proactive measures to combat marine biofouling, essential for maintaining ecological balance and maritime efficiency.
Day 3 of our event marked a successful delivery of an in-water cleaning technology demonstration! This hands-on demonstration allowed more than a 100 participants to gain deeper understanding of the complexity involved in biofouling management. The participants were able to interact with the team of experts from HullWiper Ltd and Talleres Industriales, asking insightful questions about the technology’s capabilities, operations efficiency and environmental impact. HullWiper Ltd showcased the deployment of its technology in the water, its attachment to the vessel and the detailed functioning of its adjustable high pressure seawater jets to remove hull fouling. This event marks a significant step forward for developing countries in capacitating and advancing sustainable biofouling solutions. Sincere appreciation goes to our collaborative partners: MTCC Caribbean MTCC Latin America, Talleres Industriales, HullWiper Ltd, Ashley Coutts, Lino Arosemena, John Armstrong, GEF-UNDP-IMO GloFouling Partnerships, Lilia Khodjet El Khil, PhD International Maritime Organization, Norad - Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation
