„MARINE SONIC“

Antifouling System

The elegant Solution against Biofouling on Ship´s Hulls

Your boat

How does your Hull look like under the Water Line ?

Have you got any Attachments like Weed, Mussels or Barnacles ?

Biofouling on Ship´s Hull causes:

• Friction & Drag

• Reduced Hydrodynamics

• Increased Fuel Expenses

• Increased Maintenance Cost

The Risk of Biofouling on your Boat´s Hull

Weed: Up to 15% drag Shell: Up to 45% drag

Fouled Boat slipped out of Water in April 2007 for complete Service

Yacht „Blue Dolphin“ heavily fouled in April 2007 in Cyprus

Marine Sonic installed in April 2007. Boat lifted out of the water in Oktober 2008.Boat remained in the water all the time while travelling in mediterranean sea.No weed and no barnacles visible. Almost no attachments on the hull.

Lifted out Oktober 2008 Yacht „Blue Dolphin“

The Ultrasound Antifouling has taken Effect. Nearly no Attachments.

No Antifouling Coating necessary !No false pretences: We tell you the truth.

Yacht „Blue Dolphin“ Okt´2008 Limassol CyprusThe Hull is almost clean only few dead Algae attached. No Weed or Barnacles !

High Pressure Cleaning Yacht „Blue Dolphin“ Oct.2008

The Hull has remained almost clean from the Bottom up to the Water Line.Only a thin Layer of dead Algae may be washed away very easy & quicklyNo Antifouling Coating needed since Installation of MARINE SONIC in 2007

Silicone based shark-like coatings: Reduction of fouling only

up to 67% when applied to ship´s hull !Repair is rather complicated and cost intensive
