The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the development of the first deterministic ship performance monitoring system dedicated to hull micro-fouling and coating analysis. The system aims to derive the impact of hull biofouling on the total powering of a vessel with a known and reasonable level of uncertainty. It uses a deterministic approach to calculate the contribution of every significant external disturbance (e.g. wind, waves). It then corrects the measured performance deriving the added contribution of the pure fouling as difference in powering requirement with that of clean hull condition. The Ship Performance Monitoring System is designed and installed on-board the Newcastle University (UNEW)’s R/V The Princess Royal as an automated platform. Field measurements and analysis results are presented and discussed.
