Tour of the MS Wissenschaft

The MS Wissenschaft invites you to take part in a research expedition into the fascinating world of the seas and oceans. Come on board!

 

Protection for the hull

The Fraunhofer IMWS protects ships from fouling using a special paint system. This reduces impact on the environment.  

 

Full speed ahead!

How does the antifouling paint system of the Fraunhofer IMWS work and what are its advantages for shipping and the environment? Our brochure gives the answers.
