The word for "Dirt growing or sticking to the sides of sea vessels after a certain time in operation" isn't necessarily groe - but to protect your yacht from this matter, you use antifouling, hence fouling. Groe is more commonly used for the rootlike things that old potatoes sprout.

According to Cappelens "Stor Engelsk-Norsk Ordbok", the term for fouling is "tilgroing", which is commonly simplified to groing - but not groer, which is something else entirely. Groing covers a lot of organic fouling, like rur (of the balanidae family of stalkless barnacles) or even blueshell mussels.

Note from asker:
| Thank you for replying. I found the answer elsewhere, and it is 'marine growth'. Groe is commonly used by Norwegian industry professionals as Vedis also mentioned. |
