Marine Coatings
In 2025 Jotun achieved strong results in the newbuilding, drydock and seastock markets. Increased activity at ship and repair yards drove higher volumes and strengthened Jotun’s leading and clear #1 market position. Sales were supported by Jotun’s Clean shipping commitment, developed to help owners and ship managers improve environmental performance. According to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) seaborne transportation is responsible for about three per cent of the world’s carbon emissions. By focusing on keeping hulls free of fouling, Jotun’s Clean shipping commitment not only helps the industry decarbonise but also helps to preserve fuel and protect marine biodiversity. In 2025, the company experienced strong demand for its premium antifoulings after launching the new generation of its recognized Hull Performance Solutions – HPS 2.0. Other innovations, such as Hull Skating Solutions, combined with digital offerings such as Jotun Voyager, a digital decision support tool, and HullKeeper, a hull condition monitoring service, helped secure Jotun’s place as a market leader in hull performance. In addition to quality products and solutions, Jotun’s coatings advisors consisting of the biggest team in the industry, provided owners and yards best-in-class technical service to help them achieve optimal performance and long-term protection of assets. All of this contributes to 11.8 million tonnes of avoided Co2 emissions in 2025 for its marine coatings customers, a number verified by DNV, which translates to approximately 2 billion USD in saved fuel costs for the customers.
