This report presents the development and demonstration of a computer-based analytical model to assess hull surface management practices. These practices include: the selection of anti-corrosion and anti-fouling hull coatings and their respective applications methods; selection of hull cleaning processes, including those performed in drydock and in-situ (waterborne); and scheduling of hull cleanings and recoatings. The computer model can be used in an analytical mode to evaluate particular hull surface management practices, or in an optimization mode to identify the hull surface management practices resulting in the highest possible net present value of profit over a specified time period.
