The need for sustainability improvements in the shipping industry is accelerating. The industry must cut carbon emissions, protect marine biodiversity and leverage the use of data for smarter decision-making. Jotun is committed to continuously innovate and develop advanced products and solutions designed to protect biodiversity and cut carbon emissions to support global sustainability ambitions and achieve cleaner operations.
In June 2023, Jotun proudly presented its »Clean Shipping Commitment« to the industry and thereby establishing a new framework as well as new documentation and for sure also new possibilities, both for the company and its customers. By now, the impact of a clean hull is widely known: Itreduces speed loss and thereby saves fuel, it reduces the vessel’s operational downtime, and it assists in ensuring regulatory compliance as well as protecting biodiversity by reducing the risk of transmigration of foreign aquatic species. »Protecting the current merchant fleet from biofouling has the potential of cutting CO2 emissions by as much as 19 %«, the company stated.
»Regulations related to the prevention of marine aquatic species are getting ever stricter and having a clean hull will be essential moving forward. And as we’ve always been preaching – a clean hull is an efficient hull and ensures cleaner operations and more efficient operations.« Since it has been established in 1926, Jotun has been committed to innovation, providing the industry with cutting edge products and solutions.
