The anti-fouling load arrangement uses the hull of a vessel as one plate of a capacitor to capacitively couple an electrode of the anti-fouling load arrangement to a power source within the hull. The other electrode of the anti-fouling load arrangement receives current from the power source via a wire, or via the conductivity of the sea water, which may be enhanced by the presence of a conductive plate on the surface of the water. A plurality of anti-fouling load arrangements may be applied to the hull as flexible tiles, or rigid tiles that conform to the shape of the hull.
