This year's World Maritime Day theme — From Policy to Practice: Powering Maritime Excellence — asks where International Maritime Organization - IMO4x policies become real and tangible.

For us, the answer lies at the waterline. The hull is where emissions regulations, biofouling guidelines and efficiency targets are either met or missed. Hull coating technologies can play a fundamental role in vessel performance: smoother hull surfaces, reduced resistance, enhanced energy efficiency, reduced fuel use and lower GHG emissions.

In our latest World Maritime Day blog, we explore why these coatings must not be overlooked for safety, vessel performance, and environmental protection.

Predicting how a vessel will perform over its next drydocking cycle can help ship owners and operators make more informed fouling control decisions.

Intertrac Vision combines coatings performance data with vessel characteristics, trading patterns and regional fouling challenges to model how different fouling control choices could influence vessel performance over time.

It’s another way AkzoNobel is helping operators look ahead with greater confidence, making informed decisions based on the realities of their vessels and operations.

International and the Grimaldi Group marked 30 years of collaboration with a special event onboard ro/pax vessel Europa Palace in Naples— a fitting setting for the occasion, as the vessel is fully coated with solutions from the International portfolio, including a recent refresh with Intersleek 1100SR.

The celebration recognized the achievements built together over the years and the shared commitment to supporting more sustainable shipping.
Thank you to the Grimaldi Group for the continued trust and partnership. We look forward to many more years of collaboration.

Every percentage point of drag matters. As operating costs rise and efficiency expectations increase, hull performance has become a strategic conversation, not just a maintenance one.

Chris shares a quick overview of why we're excited about Intersleek 2120 and how it's designed to help operators achieve the right balance of performance and cost, supporting efficient operations and reliable performance throughout the docking cycle.

Who is headed to SMM-Hamburg next week?

We are especially thrilled to share three technical seminars on Wednesday and Thursday, highlight sustainability, decarbonization and operational performance trends in marine coatings. Stop by our booth any of the days to chat one-on-one with our experts.

Proud to see our best performing silicone foul release coating Intersleek 1100SR on this vessel. Intersleek 1100SR has an ultra smooth surface that provides low friction which minimizes drag and maintains efficiency throughout extended docking cycles, with predictable speed retention and up to 1.2% speed loss across the docking cycle.

Thanks to Alianza Alemán Blaker for sharing this with us.

Each bulk carrier is, on average, nearly 13 years old. Tankers, over 14. With emissions now a significant operating cost under EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime, investments in the correct coatings are becoming increasingly strategic, and getting the balance right between cost and performance matters more than ever.

Daniel Stapleton, our Marine Deep Sea Marketing Manager, explores what this means for shipowners and operators in his latest piece for Hellenic Shipping News Worldwide.
