Sallaum Lines is set to enhance the efficiency and environmental performance of its fleet by investing in Jotun’s Hull Performance Solution (HPS). The investment will specifically focus on the company’s four new Pure Car and Truck Carrier (PCTC) vessels being built at the Nanjing Jinling Shipyard.
The decision to invest in Jotun’s HPS is part of Sallaum Lines’ broader strategy to optimize hull performance and reduce the environmental impact of its operations. The company is known for its commitment to clean shipping practices and sees the investment in HPS as a way to further that commitment.
Jotun’s HPS is a comprehensive solution that includes high-performance antifouling coatings, expert technical support and performance analytics. The solution also includes Jotun’s HullKeeper program, which uses a proprietary algorithm to evaluate fouling risk and recommend the best course of action.
By investing in HPS, Sallaum Lines is looking to not only improve the performance of its new PCTC vessels but also to support its long-term sustainability goals. The company has set a target to reduce its CO2 emissions by 40% by 2030 and sees the optimization of hull performance as a key part of achieving that target.
Sallaum Lines’ investment in HPS is also driven by the company’s desire to stay ahead of regulatory requirements. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set new targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from ships, and Sallaum Lines is looking to ensure that its fleet is in compliance with those targets.
In addition to the environmental benefits, Sallaum Lines also sees the potential for cost savings through the use of Jotun’s HPS. The solution is designed to improve fuel efficiency, which can help offset the rising cost of sustainable fuel options.
Sallaum Lines’ investment in Jotun’s HPS is part of the company’s broader sustainability strategy, which is outlined in its ‘The Wavemakers Initiative’ program. The program includes a range of initiatives aimed at reducing the company’s environmental impact and supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy.
