Abstract (en)

A system (100) is provided for protecting enhancing corrosion protection of a protected surface (30) of a marine structure (110) in contact with a liquid containing biofouling organisms. The protected surface is electrically conductive and being protected against corrosion by impressed current cathodic protection. The system (100) has a light emitting arrangement (20) having a light source for emitting anti-fouling light (22) to illuminate a zone of the protected surface (30). A detector (23) generates level data indicative of the level of the liquid line, and a controller (21) controls the intensity of the anti-fouling light at the zone in dependence of the level data. The intensity may be increased when the level is below a time-averaged level of the liquid line.
