Antifouling systems

Tributyltin (TBT) is an example of a banned organotin antifouling compound.

• Do not apply antifouling paints that contain organotin to any part of your vessel’s hull or external parts or surfaces.
• Remove and dispose of older antifouling systems containing organotin at appropriate facilities on land, or paint over it with a coating that prevents the banned compounds from leaching into the water.
