## Resource

Two ships can wait in the same Hormuz waters and still leave with very different hull conditions. In this episode, I discuss why one vessel may report slime while another reports barnacles, and why the answer often lies in coating age, idle time, cleaning history and the remaining antifouling margin of the hull. This episode is connected to the latest DeepDraft analysis: https://thedeepdraft.com/2026/06/29/slime-or-barnacles-why-ships-foul-differently-in-hormuz/
