Offshore wind turbines have become an integral part of energy generation in Germany. They play an important role in power generation, particularly in northern Germany, and require regular maintenance. Biological deposits (biofouling) on the ladders at the access jetty to the wind turbine, the so-called boat landing, pose a high risk for the maintenance crew when climbing over and up. Up to now, the ladders have only been cleaned after a maintenance visit. During an additional outing, the ladders are cleaned manually with a high-pressure lance – a considerable logistical and financial effort.
