SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREVENTING FOULING AND/OR CORROSION ON VESSELS AND MARINE OBJECTS

摘要

A corrosion or fouling prevention system for preventing the fouling or corrosion of a vessel or an aquatic object having a surface in contact with seawater and/or brackish water in an aquatic environment, the system comprising: a flexible and non-permeable barrier that extends about a surface of the vessel or aquatic object to avoid direct contact between the surface and the seawater and/or brackish water, an attachment structure for attachment of the barrier relative to the vessel or aquatic object to position the barrier in a spaced apart arrangement from the surface of the vessel to define an internal volume in between the surface of the vessel of the object and the barrier to receive a fluid that has a composition that is different to the aquatic environment.
