Hull Performance Solutions - Πιστοποιημένη εξοικονόμηση καυσίμων

PRESS RELEASE: Jotun has signed an agreement with Wallenius Wilhelmsen to provide its Hull Performance Solutions (HPS) anti-fouling coating system across 42 vessels in the leading shipowner’s advanced RoRo fleet.

DNV GL has hosted a one-day course addressing antifouling management and performance monitoring, which brought together representatives from ship owners, operators, yards and Intertanko.

Ship operators getting to grips with measuring hull and propeller performance, but there’s no one solution that fits all. Hull Performance & Insight Conference highlights developments, challenges and advances that could help to further improve vessel performance.

Hull Performance & Insight Conference (HullPIC) attracts high attendance of ship operators and industry representatives to discuss and share advances, challenges and opportunities in hull performance management.

Regulations are the backbone of shipping and a key part of the level field demanded of shipowner and operator representatives. But are the regulations working? What needs to be reformed? And can they be more inclusive to meet the needs of current industry?

ISO 19030 standard for measurement of changes in hull and propeller performance as ship owners and operators work to improve their fleet and hull performance, and reduce their fuel bills and emissions.

Jotun’s work on developing the ISO 19030 coupled with its Hull Performance Solutions (HPS) wins coveted marine coatings award for its innovation and dedication to improving coating performance and fuel efficiency.

Efforts to improve hull and propeller performance are gaining momentum, though more discussion is needed to enhance the accuracy and transparency of performance monitoring, according to experts at the Hull Performance & Insight Conference (HullPIC).

The new ISO 19030 standard and advances in measurements of hull and propeller performance are key topics at the forthcoming Hull Performance & Insight Conference (HullPIC).

Practical methods for measuring changes in ship-specific hull and propeller performance are included in the forthcoming ISO 19030 standard developed to enable the shipping industry to operate with enhanced efficiency and environmental performance.

Jotun’s seminar on the new ISO 19030 standard attracts high attendance of industry representatives.

PRESS RELEASE: In the four years since its coating with Jotun’s Hull Performance Solutions (HPS) system, COSCO Europe has reached new heights of efficiency, cost control and environmental performance.

Practical methods for measuring changes in ship-specific hull and propeller performance are included in the new ISO 19030 standard, which was developed to achieve a “step change” in enhancing environmental performance and vessel efficiency.

PRESS RELEASE: The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has today published the long-awaited ISO 19030, a new standard conceived to measure changes in ship-specific hull and propeller performance.

Jotun's HPS Global Sales Director Stein Kjølberg firmly believes the forthcoming ISO 19030 standard will help enable the shipping industry to operate with enhanced efficiency and environmental performance.

Jotun Hull Performance Solutions (HPS) and DNV GL join forces to help ship operators improve fleet- and hull performance by cutting fuel costs and reducing GHG emissions.

PRESS RELEASE: Jotun, a global leader in marine antifouling coatings, believes the European Union’s decision to approve the use of copper in marine antifoulings will ensure continued delivery of powerful benefits for both the shipping industry and environment.

PRESS RELEASE: The ISO 19030 is finally nearing publication, in a move that has the potential to save the shipping industry as much as USD 30 billion in annual fuel costs.

PRESS RELEASE: PETRONAS has selected Jotun’s Hull Performance Solutions (HPS) antifouling system for two LNG vessels chartered from MISC. Advanced antifouling coatings and a full suite of performance measurement sensors will now be applied to Seri Amanah and Puteri Zamrud in a move that will increase vessel efficiency, substantially cut fuel costs and reduce CO₂ emissions by 10%.

Advances in hull performance and propeller performance and related challenges and opportunities were in the spotlight at the Hull Performance & Insight Conference (HullPIC).

PRESS RELEASE: Jotun has analysed the first ever five-year dry-docking of a vessel treated with its Hull Performance Solutions (HPS) system. The data revealed that Gearbulk’s Penguin Arrow, coated with Jotun’s SeaQuantum X200 in September 2010, recorded a staggering estimated fuel saving and CO₂ emission reduction of USD 1.5 million and 12,055 tonnes respectively, across the 60-month period.

In the context of the ongoing development, Jotun  Hellas will organize a training seminar on October the 17th, at the Metropolitan Hotel, with the participation of the whole network of sales' representatives. 

PRESS RELEASE: The 17 National Standardization Bodies represented on ISO’s Marine Environment Protection Sub-committee (ISO-TC8-SC2) has voted in favour of circulating ISO 19030 parts 1 and 2 as Draft International Standards. In anticipation of final approval of the standard expected next year, Jotun will update Performance Guarantees offered as a part of its Hull Performance Solutions so that they are fully compliant with the standard.

PRESS RELEASE: DNV GL and the Norwegian paint manufacturer Jotun signed a cooperation agreement to work on improving hull performance at Nor-Shipping today.
