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.
