Jotun’s HSS receives Lloyd’s Register’s first full antifouling approval
Lloyd's Register (LR) has recently awarded the world’s first Recognised Enhanced Antifouling Type Approval to Jotun's SeaQuantum Skate antifouling coating, alongside type approval certification for the HullSkater hull cleaning equipment, approving the compatibility between the cleaning and coating system, supporting maritime industry's proactive hull management strategies.
Biocides – a necessary tool for managing biofouling
The prevention of biofouling is a hot topic in shipping generally and for regulators in particular. Biocidal antifouling coatings containing active substances that control the growth of unwanted organisms can and do make a huge contribution to combatting the global issue, but the biocides themselves are under scrutiny even though the industry still consider biocides as a key contributor to sustainable shipping.
