Abstract: This study aims to increase the power and the
performance of marine structures by protecting them
from corrosion and biofouling, which cause reduction of
the vessels power.
There are many factors in marine environment such as
salinity, pH, temperature, and velocity, which cause
corrosion. There are three main reasons concerning the
study of corrosion. These reasons are safety, economics,
and conservation. In addition, there exists the aquatic
organism bio-film, which covers the vessels hull. This
phenomenon called fouling and it results in increasing
hydrodynamic drags, lower the maneuverability of the
vessels and increase the fuel consumption. All these
factors lead to the deficiency of ships performance.
There are many methods that can be used to prevent
vessels from the results of fouling and corrosion, among
these methods coating i.e. using a highly corrosion
resistant material on the ship hull and cathodic method
i.e. using zinc for electro mechanic interaction could be
effective if implemented properly.
