Abstract: With the rapid development of marine engineering, effective antifouling and anti-corrosion technologies are essential for ensuring the safety and longevity of marine facilities. This review synthesizes current research on various coating technologies designed to combat marine biological fouling and corrosion. It analyzes the causes of marine biological fouling and corrosion, discusses their potential impacts on the safety of ships and marine structures, and emphasizes the need for effective protective systems. The review covers current antifouling coating technologies, including the preparation of low-surface-energy coatings, conductive coatings, biomimetic coatings, polysiloxane coatings, polyurea coatings, epoxy coatings, polyurethane coatings, and high-entropy alloy coatings. Anti-corrosion coatings are also discussed, with a focus on the characteristics of epoxy, polyurethane, and polyurea coatings, as well as metal-based coatings, alongside their corrosion resistance in marine environments. Based on existing research, the review summarizes ongoing challenges in marine antifouling and anti-corrosion coating technologies, and offers perspectives on future research directions and technological developments.
