Jotun Hull Skating Solutions utilises proactive cleaning to combat early-stage fouling and maintain an always-clean hull, even in the most challenging operations. A clean hull significantly reduces fuel costs, greenhouse gas emissions and the spread of invasive species.
Jotun Hull Skating Solutions consist of five key elements, which together constitute a groundbreaking approach to in-service hull performance.
Jotun’s SeaQuantum Skate coating has been developed specifically for use in combination with the HullSkater technology. The new coating builds upon the excellent performance of the SeaQuantum brand, which is the result of over 20 years research and development in silyl acrylate technologies. SeaQuantum Skate is the only coating tailored for Hull Skating.
This is an essential component of predictive hull maintenance. Jotun’s in-house analysts make fouling predictions based on big data trends, algorithms and analyses, and advise customers on when to carry out hull maintenance. This also includes oceanographic assessment for fouling prediction and enables the Skate Operator to perfectly time the deployment of the HullSkater.
The HullSkater is the first robotic device that has been purposely designed for proactive cleaning. It has high inspection and cleaning capacity and removes fouling without damaging the antifouling coating. The HullSkater is always kept onboard the vessel, which means that it is always available and can be used when the ship is in harbour or at anchor.
The solution includes highly skilled coating advisors who ensure high performance coating application, including a comprehensive regime for measuring and documenting the quality of the application process. In addition, every delivery of this solution is supported by a certified project manager, overseeing the application process and ensuring smooth instalment and set-up of the robotics. The HullSkater is remotely operated by Skate Operators working in our “follow the sun” operating hubs, enabling 24/7 support.
Our confidence in Jotun’s Hull Skating Solutions allows us to offer performance and service level guarantees fitting the needs of the most challenging operations.
With nearly 100 years of experience of charting through unknown waters, Jotun is committed to continuously innovate and develop advanced products and solutions designed to protect biodiversity and cut carbon emissions to support global sustainability ambitions and achieve cleaner operations for all industry players.
Operating responsibly is a business imperative for many owners and operators. However, the marine business environment is growing increasingly complex and challenging, requiring new solutions through partnerships. Jotun Hull Skating Solutions has been developed jointly by Jotun and its partners through exclusive co-operation agreements.
