MISC has selected Jotun’s Hull Performance Solutions (HPS) antifouling system for two of its liquefied natural gas (LNG) ships, operated by PETRONAS, to cut fuel costs and CO2 emissions by 10%.
The Seri Amanah and Puteri Zamrud will feature the HPS that combines silyl methacrylate coating technology and an ISO 19030 compliant measurement system to deliver significant and proven emission and cost savings.
PETRONAs has stated that it is committed to using advanced antifouling coatings to deliver more efficient and sustainable shipping through its operations.
Previous use of Jotun’s HPS on the Penguin Arrow Bulk Carrier showed a CO2 emissions cut by 12,055 tonnes over a 60-month operational period. This translated to a total fuel saving of USD 1.5 million.
