How IoT Sensors Are Preventing Ship Hull Biofouling
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how IoT sensors are being used to prevent biofouling on ship hulls — the buildup of barnacles and algae that costs the shipping industry billions in fuel and maintenance. They dive into a case study from the Port of Rotterdam, where a network of hull-mounted sensors monitors water temperature, salinity, and biofilm thickness in real time. The data feeds a predictive model that schedules hull cleaning only when necessary, cutting fuel consumption by up to 12 percent and reducing invasive species transfer. Lucas explains the technology — piezoelectric…
