Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A computer system or computer program product for selecting a coating for a vessel, wherein the protective coating is selected on the basis of risks associated with regions where the vessel is expected to travel, and comprises the steps of:(a) dissecting a environment in which the vessel may travel into separate fouling regions, and associating a risk rating with each region,(b) obtaining information about the route(s) the vessel has historically taken and/or will take in future through the environment, over a specified period of time, wherein the obtained information is GPS or AIS data,(c) determining which regions of the environment the vessel has travelled and/or will travel through over the specified period of time, and determining the amount of time the vessel has spent/will spend in each region in said specified period of time,(d) combining the data from steps (a), (b) and (c) to work out the average risk rating the vessel has experienced and/or will experience in the specified period of time, and(e) selecting a protective coating that has been pre-designated as being the most suitable protective coating for protection based on the average risk rating calculated in step (d).
