The purpose of this thesis is to study the modern systems of hull paintings with the aim of saving fuel. Extensive studies and numerous articles exist around the above topic, most of them analyzing scientifically and through experimental data, the effect of hull paintings in avoiding / combating biofouling of the hull. The combination of the above with the current market trend in the field of these paints, the comparative economic and technical study of the various types of paint systems and their impact not only on the savings of resources / capital of the shipping companies, but also on the harmonization of the ships with the current environmental legislation, are perhaps two areas that need further study and on which this paper will focus. The citation of a case study for the comparison of two different painting systems of a merchant ship was deemed necessary for the understanding of the above.2
