Clean shipping commitment

Our commitment to a cleaner industry

The need to improve sustainability in the shipping industry is accelerating. The global industry must cut carbon emissions, protect marine biodiversity and leverage the use of data for smarter decision making. 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. A clean hull ensures cleaner operations.

Increased vessel performance help reach sustainability goals

Cut carbon emissions

Biofouling is responsible for one fifth of the shipping industry’s total GHG emissions and its contribution is massively underestimated​. Protecting ships from biofouling would enable the industry to cut CO₂ emission by as much as 19%*. *Source: GloFouling report published in Oct 2022 (https://www.glofouling.imo.org/publications-menu)

Protect biodiversity

The world’s biodiversity is at risk from climate change, and the shipping industry is a major emitter of CO₂ as well as responsible for the transfer of aquatic invasive species. ​ Global transparent regulation will be a success factor to protect marine environments. ​

Preserve fuel

Protecting against biofouling will mean that the shipping community will spend less on fuel – shipping’s biggest expense representing as much as 50-60% of total operating expenditure ​ A clean hull ensure clean operations. ​Clean operations save fuel.
