Latest Antifouling Research focus on Sustainable Shipping – Gothenburg + online
Welcome to a seminar that will cover a demonstration of the hull maintenance decision-support tool HullMASTER, along with a range of related antifouling research topics, including innovative antifouling coatings, the impact of biofouling on vessel performance, and the socio-environmental perspectives.
Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and engage in discussions. We look forward to your participation!
The seminar is led by the Antifouling Research Group at the Department of Mechanics and Maritime Sciences, Chalmers University of Technology. It will be held in a hybrid format (both online and in-person) and is open to all participants interested in sustainable antifouling topics, including but not limited to authorities, ports, and ship operators.
