Shipping andthe environment


3/6

The IMO is considering a number o new

measures designed to reduce emissions

rom international shipping:

Energy Efciency Design Index (EEDI):

Intended to stimulate innovation and

technical development o all elementsinuencing the energy efciency o a vessel

rom design phase or new ships.

Energy Efciency Operational Indicator

(EEOI): For new and existing ships, enabling

operators to measure the energy efciency

o a ship.

Ship Energy Efciency Management

Plan: For new and existing ships which

incorporates best practices or the uel

efcient operation o ships.

Many new technologies can be costly

and time-consuming to install, however,

underwater hull coatings have an important

role in reducing uel consumption and

emissions, thus represent a simple,

retrospective and cost-eective solution.

By preventing ouling on the underwaterhull and minimising hull roughness, energy

efciency and speed improvements can be

achieved on a wide range o vessels.

Intersleek, our revolutionary next

generation oul release technology, is quick

and easy to apply and represents a viable,

proven technology that is available now.

Intersleek technology works by providing

a very smooth, slippery, low riction

surace onto which ouling organisms havedifculty attaching. Any which do attach,

normally do so only weakly and can

usually be easily removed.

With options or all vessel types, the Intersleek product range is

a signifcant development that can have a positive impact on the

environmental profle and uel efciency o the global eet helping

to reduce the shipping industries overall carbon ootprint.

As ocus shits towards the environmental cost o shipping,the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is actively

working with the industry to identiy new technologies anddesigns or reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).

Improving your fuel consumption

Intersleek900 oers typical uel and

emissions savings o up to 9% in

comparison to biocide containing sel

polishing copolymer (SPC) antioulings.

Biocide freeIntersleek900 is biocide-ree. This oers

cost advantages at the next drydocking on

waste treatment and disposal, plus enhanced

Corporate Social Responsibility through an

enhanced environmental profle.

Reducing global CO2 emissions

Intersleek900 has been shown to be a

signifcant development which can have a

positive impact on the environmental profle

and uel efciency o the global eet.

Our latest uoropolymer oul release technology,Intersleek900, is exceptionally smooth with very lowlevels o average hull roughness. This, combined with

excellent resistance to ouling, means that all vesselscan beneft rom oul release technology.

productivity, reduced their uel costs and enhanced their

environmental profle by using Intersleek900 visit:

Less paint & lowerVOC emissionsIntersleek has higher volume

solids and lower required flm

thickness than SPC systems.

This results in a 40% reduction

in paint volume and 60%reduction in VOC emissions or

frst time application. At interim

dockings, paint volume required

is reduced by over 80%.

International Paint frst applied Intersleek in 1989. With over1,000 ull vessels now coated, our customers have witnessedexcellent ouling control perormance, resulting in operational

and environmental efciencies on a wide range o vessel types.

Proven

success

Proven fuel and emission reduction

We are now achieving up to a 9% reduction

in uel consumption under comparable

conditions, reducing subsequent CO2

emissions by almost 11,000 tonnes, SOx by

100 tonnes and NOx by 200 tonnes.

Mr Amit Agarwal, General Manager

Mercator Lines Ltd

Proven speed improvement

A 10% speed improvement was

achieved without expected increase

in uel consumption.

Mr Andrew Dally, Managing Director

Inco Ships Pty Ltd

Proven foul release performance

To date, perormance results have been very

positive. The vessel is achieving operational

speed whilst utilising less power than was

previously the case. A signifcant improvement

compared to the previous SPC system.

Mr David Strawford, Head of Technical

Services, Carnival UK

Proven reduction in paint volume and

VOC emissions

Intersleek has been applied on over

100 LNG vessels. At interim dockings

there has been an 80% reduction in paint

used and VOCs emitted compared to

traditional antioulings.
