Biofouling Management Plan

MEPC.207(62) adopted 15 July 2011 sets out the format and recommendations for a vessel's Biofouling Management Plan and Biofouling Record book. In the US the Coast Guard requires vessels to have a Bio-fouling Management plan effective June 21, 2012 (CFR 151.2000). In many cases a Sediment Management Plan is also required.

California is now drafting similar regulations which may be followed by other US States.

The MARPOL Training Institute is now offering both Biofouling Management Plan and the Biofouling Record Book.
