Given the common commitment to sustainable operations, Ignazio Messina selects Jotun as a partner for the incoming drydocks.
“By continuously developing and innovating sustainable products and solutions, our Clean shipping commitment contributes to protecting biodiversity, preserving fuel, and reducing carbon emissions. Our customers reduced emissions by 10.4 million tonnes of CO₂ in 2023, based on ISO 19030 calculations. We are thrilled that Ignazio Messina has selected us to protect their vessels” said Giulia Nebbia, Marine Area Manager in Jotun.
Jotun's customized solution responds to Messina's challenging trade in warm waters with moderate speed in an uncertain geographical scenario. Tailored hull coatings system with SeaQuantum (Silyl Acrylate antifouling) and SeaQuest Endura (FRC Biocidal antifouling) will protect Messina vessels granting the best hull performance and cooperating with the sustainable target required.
Jotun Hull Performance Solutions (HPS) combines state-of-the-art antifouling and application technologies with high-end technical service. The performance and impact on vessel energy efficiency can be tracked and measured with transparent methods (ISO 19030), and additional high-performance guarantees that can secure return on investment.
“Jotun coating systems selected by Ignazio Messina & C. for vessels “Jolly Oro” and “Jolly Argento” will reduce emissions by about 20,000 tonnes of CO₂ during the vessels' service period,” Giulia Nebbia says and adds:
“We are proud to support Ignazio Messina & C. in in-service hull control with the Jotun Hullkeeper program.”
Digital monitoring is an essential element of hull performance to maintain a clean hull. The ability to identify fouling risks before will help to save fuel, reduce GHG emissions, and protect biodiversity. The HullKeeper program utilizes Jotun’s in-house developed fouling risk algorithm and combines data from different sources to make fouling control and efficiency predictable enabling ship owners to take hull control by enabling better decisions faster.
Vessels “Jolly Oro” and “Jolly Argento” will join the Hullkeeper program after the drydockings enabling Ignazio Messina & C. to monitor the fouling pressure on the hulls maximizing the coatings performance results.

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.
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.
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.
