OBJECTIVES

• To perform testing and establish documentation on
  performance of last generation tin-free
  anti-fouling paint systems, based on test patches
  on ship in normal operation.
• Ship owners to participate by offering test ships
  and arrange for test areas.
• Major suppliers of anti-fouling paint systems to
  participate with their last generation tin-free
  products, designed for the actual ship and trade.
• The composition of test ships to be sufficiently
  broad to reflect operational conditions for the
  world fleet both regarding trades, trading
  waters, speed, activity levels, docking intervals
  etc, also most demanding operational conditions
  for anti-fouling systems to be covered.
