Jotun established Hull Performance Solutions (HPS) in 2011 to make it easy for operators to maximise hull performance and thereby reduce both fuel costs and greenhouse gas emissions. The solution consists of Jotun’s advanced antifouling products, combined with a transparent method for measuring the impact of antifouling on vessel energy efficiency.
HPS consist of four key elements which work together to optimise performance:
Jotun HPS was built on the excellent performance of the SeaQuantum brand. SeaQuantum X200 was the first generation of silyl methacrylate antifouling to be launched under Jotun Hull Performance Solutions. Jotun HPS now also includes SeaQuest Endura, the first biocidal based FRC coating.
Jotun HPS combines the best antifouling coatings to maximize fuel savings and minimize deterioration of CII ratings.
Hull performance is greatly influenced by the quality of pre-treatment and paint application. Every pre-treatment and application is supported by a HPS certified project manager and coating advisors.
Our high performance application procedures have been optimised for delivering the smoothest possible hull surface and include a comprehensive regime for measuring and documenting the solution’s contribution to reducing average hull roughness.
Jotun’s HPS analysis service fully complies with ISO 19030 and isolates the impact of a ship’s underwater surfaces on its energy efficiency by tracking relative changes in the relationship between the power delivered to the propeller and speed through water over time.
Significant sources of random and systematic error are managed by collecting data with a very high frequency, by using a set of pre-defined data filters and normalisation procedures, as well as a quality assurance protocol that includes monitoring of the correlation between different sensors.
The services clearly demonstrate hull and propeller performance over the full docking interval and enable the investment to be monitored throughout the lifetime of the vessel.
Jotun's HPS offers a performance-based guarantee. That means we either document that we've delivered the expected high level of hull performance, or we return the additional investment you have made in the Hull Performance Solution.
In effect, customers pay for the delivery of high performance – not for paint with the promise of high performance.
Proven silyl methacrylate technology for reliable long term performance as integral part of Jotun HPS.
SeaQuest Endura is a biocide based foul release coating to be used as a finish coat for immersed environments.
The conversation about the importance of antifouling measures is growing. Here’s 5 reasons why shipowners and operators should not ignore the debate and opt for quality marine coatings.
The shipping industry is transforming. To meet the new regulatory requirements and market needs, ship owners and operators need to enhance their capability to offer innovative, relevant and efficient services. Technical and operational measures can improve performance, but it is vital that performance monitoring systems are used to measure their effect.
Fuel is still one of, if not the biggest expense in ships operation. With this in mind, and before the onset of new regulations, it's likely the best possible time to consider ways to reduce fuel costs.
