The present disclosure relates to a biocide generation system for inhibiting biofouling within a water system of a ship. The water system is configured to draw water from a body of water on which the vessel is supported. The biocide generating system includes an electrode arrangement adapted to be incorporated as part of an electrolytic cell through which water of the water system flows; and the control system is connected with the electrode device. The control system comprises a power supply circuit for establishing a flow of electrical current between a first electrode and a second electrode of the electrode arrangement to generate a biocide in the water within the electrolytic cell, the control system comprising a switching arrangement operable in a first switching configuration, the switching device is operable in a first switching configuration in which the first electrode is an anode and the second electrode is a cathode, and in a second switching configuration in which the first electrode is a cathode
