Short outline is given of fouling, and of its prevention by antifouling paints. Attention is paid to the conditions met by these paints, when applied on seagoing vessels. Brief description of ships trials, raft tests and laboratory tests. Development of new testing methods, which have been found very useful, both for testing purposes and for improving the insight into the mode of action of antifouling paints.
