Jotun Marine Coatings is pleased to announce that Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) will apply Jotun’s Hull Performance Solutions (HPS) on a number of existing and new vessels.
Senior Marine Engineers from MSC’s Technical Office in Italy have confirmed that initial results on the MSC Adelaide have been very encouraging. “SeaQuantum X200 has shown to be an effective antifouling technology to lower fuel costs and associated carbon emissions, consistent with MSC’s commitment to a healthier supply chain,” their statement read. “We valued the quality of Jotun’s technical service during all phases of the project and have since chosen SeaQuantum X200 HPS for a number of other vessels.”
Roberto Multari, Jotun’s regional Marine Sales Director, says that MSC has agreed to utilise HPS on 12 vessels – including the world largest containership MSC Oscar, a 19,224 TEU containership built by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) yard, delivered in January 2015. “MSC has remained a true giant in the container segment by quietly making smart investments at the right time to improve their business and improve environmental performance,” he says. “We are confident that they have made the right choice with HPS.”

About Jotun’s Hull Performance Solutions
Jotun’s HPS concept combines premium marine coatings (SeaQuantum X200), priority technical service and on-board monitoring tools to measure hull performance over time, providing an analytical basis for the company’s unique money-back guarantee that covers the entire period between dry-dockings. HPS was developed in part to provide the industry with real time-data on long-term hull performance. That data allows owners to make more informed decisions about marine coatings and ship operations, and help them distinguish between competing coatings suppliers and quantify the impact of anti-foulings on fuel usage.
