Lloyd's Register (LR) has recently awarded the world’s first Recognised Enhanced Antifouling Type Approval to Jotun's SeaQuantum Skate antifouling coating, alongside type approval certification for the HullSkater hull cleaning equipment, approving the compatibility between the cleaning and coating system, supporting maritime industry's proactive hull management strategies.
Jotun today announced another new milestone for its Clean shipping commitment through a commercial agreement with the Italian ship owner Ignazio Messina & C. for Jotun’s Hull Skating Solutions (HSS). This collaboration reflects a shared vision for innovation and sustainability, positioning Messina to navigate even the most challenging trades.
Jotun, a leading provider of high-performance hull coatings and solutions for the global maritime industry, has entered into a commercial agreement with Singapore/Thailand-based shipowner Thoresen Shipping Singapore Pte. Ltd. for the adoption of Jotun Hull Skating Solutions (HSS), a revolutionary proactive cleaning solution to advance on hull performance and vessel efficiency.
A pioneering partner in testing Jotun’s Hull Skating Solutions (HSS), Wallenius Wilhelmsen shares their perspective on the challenges and benefits conferred by proactively maintaining a clean hull under true operational conditions.
Many vessels spend time in challenging and complex environments, or are deployed in difficult operational profiles, where hull fouling can have a marked impact on efficiency and raise fuel costs.
For centuries, shipowners have fought a battle with nature in attempting to keep their ships clear of seaweed and animal growth. Today, preventing biofouling is not only about protecting ships against hull damage or loss of earning capacity due to weight and reduced speed.
Most shipowners and operators accept that antifouling coatings and operational measures combine to affect efficiency and they will make choices mostly based on their own experience of different products.
Jotun Hull Skating Solutions constitute a groundbreaking approach to in-service hull performance. This is how it works.
Jotun Hull Skating Solutions (HSS) provides market leading hull performance by combining advanced coating systems with proactive, efficient, safe and environmentally friendly inspections and cleaning.
Jotun’s Hull Skating Solutions provides the industry with a highly professional and revolutionary inspection and proactive hull cleaning technology. A primary component is the onboard Jotun HullSkater technology.
