AkzoNobel's pioneering methodology for rewarding ship owners who use sustainable hull coatings has been named Environmental Leader Product of the Year for 2016.

It’s taken 12,000 hours of development work, involving 53 expert stakeholders, across more than three years, but ISO 19030 is finally nearing publication, in a move that has the potential to save the shipping industry as much as $30 billion in annual fuel costs.

PETRONAS has selected Jotun’s Hull Performance Solutions (HPS) antifouling system for two LNG vessels chartered from MISC. Advanced antifouling coatings and a full suite of performance measurement sensors will now be applied to Seri Amanah and Puteri Zamrud in a move that will increase vessel efficiency, substantially cut fuel costs and reduce CO₂ emissions by 10 percent.

Leading Greek operator Neda Maritime Agency Co. Ltd. has become the first ship owner to receive carbon credits through a landmark scheme developed by AkzoNobel.

Advanced Polymer Coatings (APC) has signed a contract with Scot Tanker, based in Istanbul, Turkey, for up to eight chemical tanker retrofits using the patented MarineLine^® polymer cargo tank coating system.

AkzoNobel announced the issuance of more than 126,000 carbon credits worth more than $500,000.

The super slippery coating surface has been shown to generate fuel and emissions savings on average of nine percent.

The tool accurately predicts the performance of a coating technology - before it has been applied.

Through collaborative research methods, new solutions are becoming available to meet rising industry needs from decreasing your VOC footprint to using polymer technology to bridge the gap in packaging and coating needs.
