Acorros is developing ABIO, a non-biocidal antifouling coating for boat hulls that prevents biofouling without harmful chemicals. This innovative solution aims to reduce maintenance costs and environmental impact while maintaining high efficacy in various water conditions.
Boat hulls submerged in both sea- and fresh-water environments are gradually colonised by natural organisms, a process called biofouling.
Biofouling represents a significant problem for boat and ship operations, as it damages hulls, increases water drag leading to loss of manoeuvrability, delays in shipping and increased fuel consumption, inevitably increasing greenhouse emissions by up to 40%.

These biocides acc…
