A range of commercially available biofouling prevention and management options can significantly improve a ship’s energy efficiency and performance. Anti-fouling coatings is the marine industry standard for preventing biofouling, but their effectiveness can decline over time, allowing for growth of marine fouling. Proactive hull cleaning provides a straightforward approach to biofouling management. By performing gentle, frequent cleanings before hard growth occurs, vessels can avoid costly dry-dock treatments, minimise wear on anti-fouling coatings and reduce the risk of transporting invasive aquatic species. These operations can be efficiently handled with HullWiper’s remotely operated vehicle technology, eliminating the need for divers and improving safety and precision. #HullWiper #SustainableShipping #MaritimeRegulations #UnderwaterHullCleaning #Sustainability #CarbonZero #CarbonNeutral #MarineBiofouling

Is your hull cleaning method in line with international regulations? Both Australia and New Zealand have stringent anti-fouling guidelines, allowing for the removal of microfouling without full containment of biofouling waste, provided the cleaning method is gentle and non-abrasive. EverClean’s technology adheres to these regulations, ensuring that you can maintain compliance while effectively cleaning your ship’s hull. Staying compliant not only protects the environment but also helps avoid costly delays or fines. Ensure your hull cleaning method complies with international guidelines—opt for a non-abrasive, proactive solution like EverClean. Talk to one of our EverClean team to learn more about how regular cleaning of biofouling is the safest way to combat the transfer of invasive species. https://hubs.li/Q02T5wN70 #Compliance #EcoShipping #RegulationReady

Roadside #spills happen more often than you’d think! 🚘💥🚚 As #vehicles collide or rupture a saddle tank or other vehicle components, fuels, oils, coolant and contents can spill onto the natural environment, leading to potential contamination. It is our job to assess how far these impacts may have travelled and to identify properly how much soil (and/or water) will need to be removed to adequately address any contamination ✅ For that, we take soil #samples from different locations throughout the impact zone, as well as obtaining background samples from locations deemed unharmed. Why the background samples? Well, there’s always some background #contamination that could be present roadside just from tire debris, vehicles, asphalt, etc. As with any contamination #assessment , understanding the background conditions is paramount to make proper decisions! Are you dealing with a roadside spill? 🤔 Need assistance with delineation and #remediation of contamination? Contact @ogeesolutions today! ✅✅ ☎️ 647-588-7660 📧 [email protected] 🌍 www.ogeesolutions.com 📸 @ogeesolutions #ogeesolutions #ogee #environmental #environmentalservices #environmentalengineering #environmentalengineer #environmentalconsulting #qualifiedperson #expert #roadside #spillresponse #vehicleaccident #fuels #oils #experiencematters #hauling #longdistancehaulage #highwayaccidents

Pointing fingers at who is responsible for cleanup? Nope. Should service be denied if residents work to prevent the problem? Nope. We advocate for better waste management by preventing the problem - and it’s a shared responsibility. #solidwaste #regulations #bigwaste #cleancommunities #responsibility #prevention #pollution #plastics #standardization #eradication

Did you know that the effectiveness of an antifouling system extends beyond just keeping a ship's hull and internal seawater systems clean? It's integral to maintaining peak performance, reducing fuel consumption, and safeguarding marine ecosystems. Factors like ship speed, operating profile, and the specific design of the ship play crucial roles in determining the most suitable antifouling system. The type of antifouling system a ship needs varies based on its speed and operating profile. Ships traversing warmer waters encounter more aggressive biofouling species and need robust antifouling strategies customized for these specific environmental conditions. Additionally, the design and construction of a ship influence its susceptibility to biofouling. For instance, complex designs with more niche areas, such as sea chests and box coolers, may require specialized, localized treatments to prevent biofouling in these hard-to-reach areas. As inventors of the First Electrolytic Marine Growth Protection System and with over 69 years in business, we offer tailored advice. Contact us to optimize your ship's biofouling prevention, book your Biofouling Assessment now and ensure your vessel run smoothly and sustainably while protecting diverse marine life. #WeGiveAShip #MGPS #Biofouling #BiofulingManagement #MarineTransport

We despise packing straps. When these straps find their way into marine environments, they pose a significant hazard to all marine life, including seals. There is no stretch, packing straps are rigid and unforgiving. Once a seal becomes entangled in these straps, they tighten around its body, causing severe injury or even death as the seal grows or moves. Packing straps take centuries to degrade and will continue to pose a severe threat to marine animals. It would have been so easy to at least cut the loop! #ocn #pollution #plastic #oceanconservationnamibia #sealrescue
