Jotun on the impacts of prioritising a clean hull

Jotun’s SeaQuantum X200 achieves industry leading speed loss verification from DNV

Jotun is proud to announce that its well-known and recognised antifouling, SeaQuantum X200, has received official verification from DNV confirming an average speed loss of just 1.0% over a dock-to-dock period. This represents the lowest verified speed loss in the industry, setting a new benchmark for hull performance.

Jotun’s HSS receives Lloyd’s Register’s first full antifouling approval

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.

Biocides – a necessary tool for managing biofouling

The prevention of biofouling is a hot topic in shipping generally and for regulators in particular. Biocidal antifouling coatings containing active substances that control the growth of unwanted organisms can and do make a huge contribution to combatting the global issue, but the biocides themselves are under scrutiny even though the industry still consider biocides as a key contributor to sustainable shipping.
