Optimise hull performance

Active hull condition monitoring is an essential element of hull performance to maintain a clean hull. The ability to identify fouling risks before it becomes a problem will help shipowners & operators save fuel, reduce GHG emissions and minimize transfer of invasive species, protecting biodiversity. This not only improves bottom line, but also contributes to a more sustainable shipping industry. With HullKeeper, we provide a range of services to support vessel operators with well-timed and high quality intelligence to make better decisions, faster on prevailing hull condition.

The HullKeeper Program

Designed by Jotun’s hull performance expert team, HullKeeper is a unique programme and progressive solution that enables optimised hull performance regardless of the applied coating through hull condition monitoring.

Ship operators can take full control of their operations with active hull condition monitoring, fouling risk alerts, inspections and advisory services helping them to identify potential fouling problems long before they start to slow their vessels down.

They can use everything the programme offers, or just select the parts that work for them.

Monitoring

HullKeeper Monitoring keeps track of the many variables that affect hull performance. These include the vessel’s trading pattern and other factors that influence fouling pressure. It can seamlessly give ship operators the operational profile for a single vessel or for their entire fleet.

Alerts

HullKeeper Alerts continuously evaluates a vessel’s fouling risk and an alert is triggered by Jotun’s advanced algorithm when the fouling risk reaches a certain threshold. The need for further action is evaluated to ensure the hull performance is maintained.

Inspections

The HullKeeper Program offers underwater hull inspections with an ROV which effectively provides eyes under water. The inspection is summarised in a detailed high-quality inspection report compiled by Jotun’s hull performance expert team, and serves as the basis for a dialogue on recommended actions to enhance hull performance.

Advisory

Jotun has close to 100 years of experience in optimising hull performance. This expertise is made available to our customers through HullKeeper Advisory, which provides high-quality reports and presentations, and allows in-depth discussions with our hull performance expert team.

Benefits

Jotun HullKeeper can help ship owners take hull control by enabling better decisions faster to maintain hull efficiency and environmental performance while also saving costs.

The operator’s challenge

Biofouling is a major issue in shipping and leads to significant increases in fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Many ships are under time charters, and it is the charterer that suffers even though hull condition and coating choice are not in his control.
