Marine Vessel Hull Fouling Predictor

A maintenance system that uses sensor data (speed, fuel consumption) and ML to predict the optimal time and severity of biofouling (algae/barnacles) on a ship's hull.

🎯The Problem

Shipping companies clean hulls on fixed schedules, which is often unnecessary or too late, leading to increased drag, high fuel costs, and environmental impact.

💡The Solution

An ML model that analyzes operational data against environmental data (water temperature, salinity) to forecast drag increase and recommend hull cleaning.

👥Target Users
