What's Happening?
Jotun, a prominent marine coatings company, has announced new speed loss verifications for its hull performance products, conducted by DNV using ISO 19030 methodology. These verifications are based on in-service operational data and provide documented
speed loss results across Jotun's hull performance portfolio. The latest verifications include data for SeaQuantum Pro U and the SeaQuantum Ill- and S-series, alongside previously announced results for Hull Skating Solutions (HSS). This development expands Jotun's documented speed loss results, which now cover a broader range of its products. The verifications follow established ISO 19030 methodologies and are based on data from a representative range of vessels, ensuring reliability and accuracy.
Why It's Important?
The new speed loss verifications are significant for the marine industry as they provide reliable data on hull performance, which is crucial for optimizing fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. By documenting speed loss, Jotun can offer its clients more precise information on the performance of its coatings, potentially leading to cost savings and environmental benefits. The verifications also enhance Jotun's reputation as a leader in marine coatings, as they demonstrate the company's commitment to transparency and innovation. This development may influence other companies in the industry to adopt similar methodologies for verifying product performance, thereby improving overall industry standards.
