NORMAM-401/DPC, Chapter 4, outlines Brazil's regulations for biofouling management on vessels, aiming to mitigate the introduction of non-native aquatic species into Brazilian Jurisdictional Waters. These rules, based on International Maritime Organisation (IMO) guidelines, primarily apply to vessels over 24 meters in length, with exemptions for smaller craft and certain government or platform support vessels. The core requirements mandate that applicable vessels must maintain a Biofouling Management Plan and Biofouling Logbook, detailing inspection, cleaning, and maintenance of anti-fouling systems. Furthermore, the standards establish strict procedures for in-water cleaning, which must generally be requested in advance and include residue capture, particularly when a vessel's fouling level exceeds micro-fouling. Finally, the text details penalties and sanctions for non-compliance, alongside the administrative procedures for handling environmental infractions.

S-100 data as a new standard for hydrographic information. It will eventually replace the older S-57 standard, which is becoming outdated. S-100 supports a broader range of data sources and applications, including high-density bathymetry and marine GIS. Several S-100 products are highlighted, such as S-101 for electronic navigational charts, S-102 for bathymetric surfaces, and S-104 for water level information.
