Would he continue using it and recommend it to others? “Based on these results I would say a resounding yes” said Richard. “Before Ultrasonic Fouling Prevention was installed the bottom would have to be physically cleaned by divers twice in a season. And the yacht’s performance is noticeably and consistently improved due to having a clean hull.”
The Ultrasonic System was fitted to the Mystere superyacht’s sea chests which had experienced problems with calcium growth, worm casts and algae, all negatively affecting the efficiency of the cooling.
After a year in service the luxury yacht Mystere’s captain reported: “None of these substances were present at all, and the installation has been a ‘plug and play’ success, which just worked away quietly, and without any onboard attention required.”
A test carried out by ADSB on a 16 meter last patrol boat with a composite Kevlar and carbon hull showed excellent results.
The test involved 2 similar boats, one with Ultrasonic Fouling Prevention installed and one without. The vessels were left moored up within a few meters of each other for a 4 week period.
After the first week a noticeable difference could be seen. By the end of the 4th week, the results were conclusive. The vessel fitted with Ultrasonic Fouling Prevention had little or no growth over the entire hull, while the other vessel was found to have so much growth the vessel struggled to get on plane.
As a result of this test Ultrasonic Fouling Prevention will be included in all future standard project specifications.

Following tests and observations during the last 8 months the system has outperformed my best expectations, on weekly inspections we have seen no signs of growth nor have we had to clean the strainers only for light debris, we have inspected the manifold and coolers with an endoscope and again no signs of growth which in turn has benefited all auxiliary sea water systems thereafter.
The aim of this installation was not just to cover the hull, but also to add extra protection to the running gear and rotating equipment. Prior to using Ultrasonic Fouling Prevention this vessel was burning 280 liters of fuel an hour, due to the fouling, now with the clean hull being maintained by Ultrasonic Fouling Prevention the consumption has dropped to 240 LpH 40 liters an hour.
Captain Geoff Clarke stated, “It is fantastic to find an innovative marine product on the market that does the job that it’s designed to do, and as in our case, could be adapted to deal with other problems that arise from unwanted growth.”
This boat is owned by our Technical Director (NRG Marine) and was used for field trials for 18 months prior to the product being launched in to the Middle East at the Dubai Boat show. The system has been installed for well over 2 years now with excellent results. So much so that the speed log paddle wheel has not needed cleaning since the Ultrasonic Fouling Prevention system was installed!
