Explanation: C
f: concentration or fugacity based model; Nr. of Media: number of abiotic main and sub-compartments included (water col-
umn, sediment, air, soil, particulate matter); Hydrodynamics: ability to cope with more complex marine hydrodynamic features; Emiss. from
Ships: ability to include (+) or estimate (++) typical emission patterns of antifoulants. Generic: generic model (g) or location specific (l). Other
categories: -: missing; +: available as user editable option; ++: integrated in model; (+): option is partly available
