From Baird Maritime:
The days of copper-bottomed ships and boats are long gone. Ever since the first ships were launched a host of different materials have been tried to resist the constant accumulation of marine growth on their bottoms.
The last three decades have seen unusually dramatic improvements in the materials used, their application, effectiveness and longevity. Increasing environmental consciousness and the economics of shipping have been the main drivers in this.
This amazingly detailed collection of essays by an international panel of experts describes the absolute state-of-the-art in this vitally important subject.
Of importance to owners, operators, builders and designers of ships, boats, oil and gas structures, and any man-made device existing in the marine environment, this important book should be studied by all of them.
The 'bible' of antifouling.
