Demonstration of in water clean and capture
1.Description of the Requirement
Transport Canada is taking action to safeguard Canadian waters from the introduction and spread of non-indigenous species (NIS) through marine shipping. Vessel biofouling is one of the primary vectors for the transfer and introduction of NIS into Canadian waters.
Biofouling occurs when microorganisms, plants, algae, and animals accumulate on structures that are exposed to an aquatic environment, such as a vessel's hull. This can bring foreign species to Canadian waters or move them between ecosystems within Canada. These species can become invasive and harmful in their new habitats.
Additionally, biofouling can increase a vessel's drag, which leads to higher operating costs, fuel consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and underwater noise. Since biofouling begins to develop within hours of a vessel entering the water, all vessels have the potential to transport NIS. A vessel-s level of biofouling is affected by many factors including the condition and type of anti-fouling system (AFS), season, mooring time, vessel speed, recent travel history, and water salinity levels and temperature.
Biofouling can be managed by cleaning a vessel in-water. However, it is important to note that cleaning a vessel in-water can also release organisms and contaminants into the environment. In-water cleaning with capture capability can help reduce this environmental risk.
