As focus shifts towards the environmental cost of shipping, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is actively working with the industry to identify new technologies and designs for reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). The IMO is considering a number of new measures designed to reduce emissions from international shipping: • nergy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI): E Intended to stimulate innovation and technical development of all elements influencing the energy efficiency of a vessel from design phase for new ships. • nergy Efficiency Operational Indicator E (EEOI): For new and existing...

More value, less impact Our latest fluoropolymer foul release technology, Intersleek®900, is exceptionally smooth with very low levels of average hull roughness. This, combined with excellent resistance to fouling, means that all vessels can benefit from foul release technology. Improving your fuel consumption Intersleek®900 offers typical fuel and emissions savings of up to 9% in comparison to biocide containing self polishing copolymer (SPC) antifoulings. Reducing global CO2 emissions Intersleek®900 has been shown to be a significant development which can have a positive impact on the environmental...

Less emissions Up to 9% reduction in CO2 emissions. Less paint & lower VOC emissions Intersleek® has higher volume solids and lower required film thickness than SPC systems. This results in a 40% reduction in paint volume and 60% reduction in VOC emissions for first time application. At interim dockings, paint volume required is reduced by over 80%. Less waste disposal Reduced treatment and disposal costs of wash water and blasting abrasive. Over 50% reduction in waste packaging compared to SPC systems. Biocides No leaching of biocides into the sea. Enhanced health and safety for applicators....

Proven success International Paint first applied Intersleek® in 1989. With over 1,000 full vessels now coated, our customers have witnessed excellent fouling control performance, resulting in operational and environmental efficiencies on a wide range of vessel types. Proven fuel and emission reduction “We are now achieving up to a 9% reduction in fuel consumption under comparable conditions, reducing subsequent CO2 emissions by almost 11,000 tonnes, SOx by 100 tonnes and NOx by 200 tonnes.” Proven foul release performance “To date, performance results have been very positive. The vessel is achieving...
