Abstract
Intense pitting ,tunneling and perforations of SS304 under heavy deposite of fouling limit the use of this alloy in ocean engineering .Carbon steel ,Al 2S and Al M57S were free from pitting .Fouling in general was very heavy on all metallic surfaces and a maximum fouling load of 21.9 kg m-2 was observed on non-toxic metal.Based on the fouling load Cochin port appears to fall under fouled port.
