The forum, hosted by The GloFouling Partnerships initiative, a project by IMO, gathers the industry under the theme "Shaping the Future of Biofouling Management”.
Among the distinguished speakers, Petter Korslund, Regulatory Affairs Manager at Jotun Performance Coatings, will present "Biofouling Management through Digital Solutions," highlighting one technology and solution that can help the industry and authorities to manage biofouling and eventually make the shipping industry cleaner.
“Ensuring that the industry is aware of and understands the solutions and technologies is important. That way regulators and stakeholders can set the scene for the industry based on experience-based knowledge and proven effects. As a leader within this topic, we are obliged to put focus on the challenges and drive the industry forward,” said Petter Korslund.
“This forum provides a unique platform for stakeholders to discuss pressing challenges and share innovative solutions in biofouling management.”
At the forum Korslund will present Jotun’s approach to digital solutions – including HullKeeper – which delivers actionable data and intelligence on underwater hull condition and enables users to actively make faster & more informed decisions.
The GloFouling R&D Forum will cover a wide range of topics within biofouling managements and will be held in Busan, South Korea, from November 4 to November 8, 2024.
Jotun today announced another new milestone for its Clean shipping commitment through a commercial agreement with the Italian ship owner Ignazio Messina & C. for Jotun’s Hull Skating Solutions (HSS). This collaboration reflects a shared vision for innovation and sustainability, positioning Messina to navigate even the most challenging trades.
Jotun, a global leader in marine and protective coatings, today announced the launch of Hardtop XP II, the next generation of its most sold product. Building on the legacy of Hardtop XP, which has sold over 300 million litres since its launch in 2006, Hardtop XP II takes durability, efficiency, and aesthetics to the next level.
Improving energy efficiency does seem to be the way forward to achieving decarbonisation and more for the shipping industry. Nor-Shipping 2025 had a heavy focus on decarbonisation and alternative fuels along with an undertone of geopolitical shifts and trade disruptions. However, pragmatists would have also noticed that the transition to cleaner fuels is taking longer than some anticipated and efficiency measures are getting more attention. Low-hanging fruits are available today, and Jotun is showing it is committed to doing its part to future-proof the industry.
