The need to improve sustainability in the shipping industry is accelerating. The global industry must cut carbon emissions, protect marine biodiversity and leverage the use of data for smarter decision making. 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.
Biofouling is responsible for one fifth of the shipping industry’s total GHG emissions and its contribution is massively underestimated. Protecting ships from biofouling would enable the industry to cut CO₂ emission by as much as 19%*. *Source: GloFouling report published in Oct 2022 (https://www.glofouling.imo.org/publications-menu)
The world’s biodiversity is at risk from climate change, and the shipping industry is a major emitter of CO₂ as well as responsible for the transfer of aquatic invasive species. Global transparent regulation will be a success factor to protect marine environments.
Protecting against biofouling will mean that the shipping community will spend less on fuel – shipping’s biggest expense representing as much as 50-60% of total operating expenditure A clean hull ensure clean operations. Clean operations save fuel.
Jotun's Clean Shipping Survey takes a deep dive into the shipping industry’s knowledge of biofouling on ships’ hulls, the technologies available to manage it, and whether international regulations play a part in developing a response to the issue.
The survey of shipping professionals, conducted by Lloyd’s List, follows on from the recent GloFouling report published by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and shows that most industry leaders underestimate biofouling’s negative environmental impact.

Jotun Hull Skating Solutions (HSS) utilises proactive cleaning to combat early-stage fouling and maintain an always-clean hull, even in the most challenging operations. A clean hull significantly reduces fuel costs, greenhouse gas emissions and the spread of invasive species.
Controlling the condition of your ship hull is the key to avoiding increased fuel consumption and GHG emissions, which are a threat to both business and the environment. With Jotun HullKeeper, you get a range of services for optimised hull performance. You will be able to identify potential problems long before they slow you down, allowing you to make better decisions, faster.
Jotun Hull Performance Solutions (HPS) makes it easy for operators to maximise hull performance and thereby reduce both fuel costs and greenhouse gas emissions. The solution consists of advanced antifouling products, combined with a transparent method for measuring the impact of antifouling on vessel energy efficiency.
For close to 100 years, Jotun has provided products to keep ship hulls clean from biofouling. Our ambition is to provide our customers with the best possible products to assure efficient and reliable operations.
The shipping industry, responsible for transporting approximately 90% of the world’s goods, is a fundamental part of the global economy. Yet, it also contributes significantly to climate change and the transfer of invasive species. To address this during COP29, Jotun took part in a panel discussion titled “Navigating the Future: Bridging Shipping, Biodiversity, and Decarbonization.” The importance of hull performance and marine coatings in driving sustainable change within the shipping industry got its needed attention.
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.
There is growing pressure for the maritime transportation industry to decarbonise and minimise its impact on the environment. At Jotun we know that a clean hull ensures cleaner operations. That is why we continuously develop solutions that enables our customers to optimise hull performance and cut emissions.
