Abstract
A method for improving a fluid dynamic profile and fouling properties of a marine vessel with a welding seam which forms a cap protruding above a surface being under the waterline of a vessel. The method comprising amending the welding seam by applying a fairing to the underwater surface, e.g. by use of filler. A vessel with a fairing, and a coating system for a vessel and including a fairing.
