This comes as vessel owners and operators face stricter regulatory requirements, while roughly six in ten say they will invest in anti-fouling coatings to reduce their vessels' carbon emissions.
A game-changer in marine coatings, the anti-fouling solution combines ultra-low friction and patented hydrogel technology, reducing fuel consumption and emissions for more than 1,000 vessels since its 2021 launch.
By using modern mixing and dispersing technology, and centrally controlled peripheral devices with automated feeding and dosing of powder and liquid components, a Norwegian anti-fouling coatings manufacturer successfully tripled its production capacity at its new site, while keeping its staff levels the same.
AkzoNobel’s marine coatings brand announced Prysmian’s new vessel, Monna Lisa, will use the company's primer and anti-fouling solution. This choice is expected to cut carbon and VOC emissions.
