During ship operation, fouling decreases the performance of hull and propeller, leading to significantly higher fuel consumption. The added fuel penalty due to declining hull and propeller performance may reach the staggering heights of 80-90%. This problem is widely known, but the demand for more accurate quantification and level-field comparisonhas grown in the wake
