OverviewBIMCO is launching a new survey with the aim of gathering information from shipowners about the effectiveness of their anti-fouling systems (AFS). The information gathered will help BIMCO provide factual information to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) about biofouling management in practice.BIMCO正在发起一项新的调查工作，旨在向船东收集有关其防污底系统（AFS）效能的信息。收集的信息将有助于BIMCO向国际海事组织（IMO）提供有关生物污垢管理的实践资料。The topic of biofouling is increasingly on the agenda at the IMO and several national governments. The existing IMO guidelines on biofouling (Resolution MEPC.207(62) – 2011 Guidelines for the control and management of ships’ biofouling to minimise the transfer of invasive species) are currently under review.生物污垢话题越来越多地在IMO和若干国家政府的议程中出现。目前，IMO现有的生物污垢指南正在审议中（MEPC.207（62）号决议——2011年控制和管理船舶生物污垢以减少入侵物种转移的指南）。BIMCO is actively involved in the revision of the guidelines and is seeking to ensure that the revised guidelines remain practical for shipowners. To build our argumentation on facts, BIMCO has developed a questionnaire to collect shipowners’ views on the practices of biofouling management, especially the use and effectiveness of anti-fouling systems (AFS) and in-water cleaning.BIMCO积极参与指南的修订工作，并努力确保修订后的指南对船东仍然实用。为了使我们的论证建立在事实之上，BIMCO制定了一份调查问卷，以收集船东对生物污垢管理实践的意见，特别是防污底系统（AFS）和水下清洗的使用和效果。BIMCO encourages shipowners - both members and non-members - to take part in the survey, as this will help us build a robust argumentation when it comes to help improving the biofouling regulations.BIMCO鼓励船东（包括会员和非会员）参与问卷调查，因为这将有助于我们在改进生物污垢法规时构建强有力的论证。BIMCO Biofouling Survey 2021BIMCO has developed a questionnaire on Biofouling and seeks your input to the same.BIMCO制定了一份关于生物污垢的调查问卷以期征求您的意见。Biofouling is increasingly getting traction at IMO and several other national governments.
