i. Water condition—The water contains oil and chemical that effect the life cycle
and growth of the barnacles.
ii. Weather condition—Rain and hot weather effect low also the high tide of the
seawater.
From this observation, the vessel needs to do the hull service and maintenance
because the barnacles in highest level effect the vessel performance.
15.4 Conclusion
The conclusion remark in this research is that the marine industry is one of the larger
heavy engineering industries. There are many software packages and programing
languages used in this industry, some require the payment of expensive licence fees.
Scilab is the one of the way to reduce cost in this industry since this software is free
and can be downloaded from the Internet, its function is similar to the MATLAB
software, Scilab also can be used for calculation in similar way as MATLAB, on
the image processing analysis, various type of analysis can be performed with this
software, such as sonar, hull inspection and etc. Based on three analyses that have
been made, it can be said that the growing up of the barnacle is about 30% of the
three months of observation. This research investigated the growth of barnacles and
the obtained results will help ship owners and especially the marine industry to know
more details about the growth of these barnacles.
