Challenging operations affect efficiency

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.

Environmental challenges in the shipping industry

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.

Jotun introduces proactive cleaning

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.
