This paper addresses issues related to studying the mechanisms of biofouling formation and analyzing methods for their diagnosis and removal. Understudied aspects of this problem are identified and the applicability of existing methods is assessed. A comprehensive analysis of the processes of biofouling occurrence and development on ships is conducted, its biological composition is studied, the formation processes are modeled, countermeasure methods are considered, and the use of modern digital technologies is explored. The importance of research aimed at eliminating biofouling is emphasized, the nature and risks associated with these formations are identified, and the importance of diagnosing their component composition is substantiated. Special attention is given to the potential use of robotic systems with elements of artificial intelligence for monitoring and interfering with biofouling.
