Mooring stations to 'eliminate' antifouling

Boat Bunkers has created an in-water mooring station that the company claims eliminates the need for antifouling.

It is a floating mooring chamber that isolates water in contact with the boat's hull from the surrounding water, which in turn eliminates bottom fouling.

Boat Bunkers' in-water mooring station has a flotation collar that surrounds the hull of the boat above the waterline, a water-impervious 'undershield' that surrounds the hull below the water, and a gate system that provides easy access in and out of the mooring station.

The collar protects the hull from debris and contact with the dock.

By isolating the water in contact with the hull, there is no oxygen replenishment and no food source, which totally eliminates barnacles and other marine life.

The in-water mooring stations are said to be easy to install and can be used in almost any mooring.
