Success with the elite sailing world coincided with a renewed interest in the rest of the marine industry to find high performance, non-toxic coatings for commercial and recreational ship hulls. It begged the question of could the technology be applicable to shipping where clean hulls, fuel efficiency and durability are the primary performance requirements.
The Kentucky Transportation Center (KTC) conducted a study funded by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) to assess the impact of chlorides on bridge coatings performance.

The Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) is currently investigating the feasibility of using foul-release coatings to mitigate impacts caused by macro-fouling organisms such as zebra and quagga mussels. Durability of these coatings must be considered as a factor in determining overall life cycle costs. To this end, the Bureau of Reclamation has developed testing protocols to evaluate the durability of foul-release coatings with respect to abrasion, erosion resistance and the ability to overcoat existing equipment.
Cavitation erosion of the rudder has been a serious problem in the high-speed container ship industry. It is well known that the lifetime of a conventional coating system is about 6 months against cavitation bubble collapse. Although STS 316L stainless steel has been applied to prevent such a problem, there are several drawbacks such as high repair cost and poor workability.
