Ignoble (corroding)
Corrosion Control :
Sacrificial anode metals attached to hull which are more anodic (less noble) than steel when immersed in salt water, e.g. zinc plates. Impressed current systems voltage difference maintained between hull and fitted anodes. May use noble metals as anodes to reduce deterioration.

Paints:
Anti-foul paints self polishing anti-foul paints can last up to 5 years. Now Tributylen Compound (TBT) free due to International Maritime Organisation (IMO) requirements. Paint coating to prevent corrosion.
