This paper considers the environmental and financial impact of various antifouling coatings for ships hulls. To do this comparison an eco-efficiency analysis was conducted comparing three different fouling control systems which offer the same customer benefit of a clean underwater hull. The results clearly demonstrated that fluoropolymer foul release technology can offer this benefit in the most eco efficient way having lower impacts on both the environment and on the economics of using that technology.
Contractors often agree to deliver a project on a certain schedule. Then, once the work begins, the project suffers significant impacts, oftentimes through no fault of either the General Contractor or the Subcontractors, and then they do not have the tools in place to properly communicate the impacts, recover the losses and manage success.

The long term performance of any coating system will be limited by the ability of the applicator to achieve the best combination of surface preparation, application, and curing. In oil and gas facility construction, sometimes the most appropriate coating system is not the best available technology, but rather the system that ensures the highest probability for success based on the environmental conditions during application. An example is presented in which a zinc rich epoxy coating provides clear advantages over the specified inorganic zinc silicate due to circumstances specific to the particular application.
Since the inception of Epoxy Passive Fire Protection (EPFP), the industry has depended upon systems that require mesh reinforcement. The addition of this mesh adds at least $3.72 USD/sq. ft. to the applied systems. To avoid any risk of failure when exposed to fire reinforcement mesh must be correctly installed in accordance with the product’s certification and type approvals.
