Sea transportation is one of the cheapest and most widespread types of cargo transportation, and the process of fouling of the vessel’s hull has an extremely negative impact on its maneuverability and running characteristics. This leads to excessive consumption of fuel, an increase in the cost of delivery of goods and environmental risks. Namely, when additional fuel is burned, the emission of the greenhouse gas CO2 increases. Considering the accompanying environmental risks in the long-term pla
