New silul methacrulate-based coatings for tailor-made fouling protection

摘要

Jotun launched a range of premium antifouling coatings to succeed its market leading SeaQuantum S-line offering tailor-made fouling protection. The silyl methacrylate-based SeaQuantum III series, with products tailored for customer specific vessel operational profiles, sets a new industry standard, keeping biofouling under control to deliver an average speed loss performance of just 2% over a 60-month period. This translates to compelling owner benefits in terms of operational efficiency, environmental protection and huge fuel savings - USD 500K per year on average for a 3,000 TEU feeder container ship, and the gains extend with larger vessels and fuel price hikes.
