Empower your ships to get the job done
You’ll already know that shipping is operating in a complex and competitive environment where optimising and saving is key. Once a vessel leaves the dry dock it’ll be fighting fouling in different waters with unpredictable trading patterns for years. We also know that vessels on average lose up to 20 per cent efficiency over five years, which leads to increased costs. So choosing the right hull coating can be worth every minute in dry dock.
With our coating solutions, you can:
- Reduce your speed loss
- Prevent the risk of fouling
- Reduce vessel downtime
