Ship Slim Build-Up: Biofilm growth model can enable low cost and emissions in Ocean Transport



Slim build-up is an expensive drag on fuel efficiency for cargo ships going into the sea, which leads to higher emissions and eventually, high consumer prices. A study published in NPJ biofilms and microbiome journal, explains a new approach to managing this general problem.
