Advanced Ultra Low Friction Hull Coating System
The greenest underwater coating solution with ZERO RELEASE in the water
100% protection of the ocean
The greenest Ultra low friction coating solution with above 6% certified power reduction
One of the top Energy Saving Devices in shipping thanks to ultra-low properties
Ultra-low friction coatings reduce the amount of energy required to overcome resistance during movement. This can result in improved energy efficiency and leads to energy savings. These properties ensure the longevity of the asset, a more cost effective maintenance activities and sustainable operation reducing the CO2 emitted.
Disruptive technologies are needed for a greener future in shipping
As of today:
Above 90% of the total freight traffic is carried on water.
There are around 100,000 vessels in the world trading fleet.
Maritime shipping is responsible for about 3% of global CO2 emissions.
10% of the vessels energy cost and therefore CO2 emissions are due to fouling on the hull.
32.5 million tonnes of fuel are consumed every year due to the fouling that worsens the performance of the hull.
About 80% of coating systems have biocides and release chemicals in the sea.
Benefits of using Advanced Ultra Low Friction Hull Coating System
- No release of chemicals and biocides in the ocean.
- Easy cleaning and maintenance activities.
- Underwater hull cleaning provided by unmanned robot.
- Anti-friction technology and corrosion protection.
- Better smoothness and fouling prevention.
- Improved performance ensures fuel saving. Blue Race guarantees a minimum of 3% fuel saving.
- Monitoring and reporting performance with the use of data analytics software.
- Promote decarbonization in shipping by reducing the CO2 emitted.
