Jotun, which claims to be the Kingdom’s number one paint manufacturer and recognized worldwide as a major provider of coating solutions to the global marine fleet, participated in First Saudi Maritime Congress held on Nov. 25-26 in Dammam.
The event was inaugurated by minister of transport and chairman of Saudi Ports Authority who visited Jotun’s booth at the accompanying exhibition.
Jotun is best-known in the maritime industry for its hull performance solutions (HPS) and anti-fouling solutions, the answer to performance marine coating.
HPS, which was the key highlight of Jotun’s display at the event, measures hull performance along with guaranteed maximum speed loss and fuel efficiency.
Commenting, David Wright, managing director, Jotun Saudia, said: “As Jotun is recognized worldwide as a leading provider of coating solutions to the global marine fleet, the Maritime Exhibition held alongside the First Saudi Maritime Congress was an excellent opportunity to meet with current and potential clients and gave us a unique opportunity to showcase our products and explain how they can save costs and fuel while exerting a beneficial effect on the environment.”
The condition of a ship’s underwater hull surface has a substantial impact on its energy efficiency – both at the new build stage and for the vessel in operation. Around one-tenth of the world fleet’s fuel consumption can be attributed to deterioration in hull and propeller performance. This translates into around $30 billion in annual additional fuel costs and around 0.3 percent of all man-made carbon emissions.
Jotun’s hull performance solutions have been designed to make it easy to maximize hull performance and thereby reduce both fuel cost and greenhouse gas emissions. The solutions combine state-of-the-art antifouling and application technologies with reliable performance measurements and high performance guarantees.
