Shipbuilding company Hyundai Heavy Industries, which controls about 10% of the global new-build market, has reached an agreement with containers carrier HMM Co. Ltd. and marine coatings supplier Jotun to use Jotun's Hull Skating Solutions on a series of new builds.

Jotun is launching its Jotacote Universal S120 primer to the global market after three years of success in the North East Asian and West European market.

Jotun is cementing its position as a preferred coatings partner within the superyacht industry with the launch of JotunCare, an after-sales and lifecycle service solution.

Developments in chemically resistant, 2K polymer-modified epoxy coatings have met several market needs, including carry of sulfuric acid, coating inspection facilitation, anti-static coatings, improved abrasion resistance and field-repairable coatings.

Jotun has launched a range of premium antifouling coatings to succeed its SeaQuantum S-line offering tailor-made fouling protection.

Graphite Innovation and Technologies has been awarded a contract valued at $2,400,000 by Transport Canada to investigate a new technology to help reduce the underwater noise and greenhouse gas emissions produced by marine vessels.

In the shipbuilding industry, repairs are a constant and inevitable fact of marine life, resulting in costly downtime and loss of earnings. This article explains how shipyards can put key technologies in the dock which offer speed, portability and efficiency.

Graphite Innovation and Technologies Inc. has developed an environmentally friendly, hard foul-release coating that can be easily cleaned and does not require the application of primer underlayers.

Shandong Shipping, Qingdao, China, has chosen to use Advanced Polymer Coatings Inc.'s high-performance MarineLINE® cargo tank coating system on a series of eight new-build chemical tankers.

Seacoat's newest hull coating release, SEA-SPEED V 10 X ULTRA, helps curb marine organism fouling on the front end and makes any hull cleaning operations much easier and less expensive than conventional hull coatings, all with zero negative environmental impact due to its non-toxic chemistry on the back end of the equation.
