Ship hull is exposed to highly corrosive environment. Current corrosion inspection of ship hull typically requires planned periodic stop. Unscheduled maintenance is disruptive and often quite expensive. Reliable information on corrosion genesis, mechanism, rate and development in time would be very helpful in preventing disruptive unscheduled maintenance and optimizing scheduled corrosion inspection and maintenance. This information can be only collected by combining data from corrosion monitoring sensors and environment variable monitoring sensors. Present paper reviews the corrosion monitoring and environment variable monitoring sensors, developed up to now, that could be applicable to follow specific conditions of hull corrosion and hulls actual state.
