Tom Evensen, Regional Category Manager, Hull Performance at Jotun, discusses the various ways a clean hull can impact ships - from increasing legislation and port rules to vessel efficiency.
With nearly 100 years of experience of charting through unknown waters, Jotun is committed to continuously innovate and develop advanced products and solutions designed to protect biodiversity and cut carbon emissions to support global sustainability ambitions and achieve cleaner operations for all industry players. A clean hull ensures cleaner operations.
There is no quick fix to decarbonise shipping, but big gains can be found just below the water surface. Even though more collaboration and disruptive innovation are needed, effective hull management and proactive cleaning are vital for a cleaner, more efficient shipping industry as they help reduce emissions, preserve fuel and protect the oceans’ biodiversity.
As the demands on environmental compliance, transparency and efficiency are escalating around the globe, the role of research and development (R&D) is a key for driving the industry forward. Its importance as being the first step in solving complex challenges cannot be over emphasized, but it is only of value if the industry is able to make use of the knowledge obtained.
