Jotun Hull Skating Solutions,&#13;<br \/>\ndeveloped with advanced technology, is the latest innovation in the hull&#13;<br \/>\nperformance category and the first of its kind in the world that utilizes data&#13;<br \/>\nanalytics, robotics and coatings to carry out proactive cleaning to eradicate&#13;<br \/>\nearly-stage fouling.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The portable system, which is operated through a robotic device known as&#13;<br \/>\nthe HullSkater, is stored onboard the vessel to allow for fast response to&#13;<br \/>\nconduct thorough underwater inspections and clean the hull when required. The&#13;<br \/>\ndevice also helps to preserve the marine ecosystem by minimizing the spread of&#13;<br \/>\nnon-indigenous marine organisms, as well as contributing to lower atmospheric&#13;<br \/>\nemissions of CO2 through reduced fuel consumption as it lessens hull drag in&#13;<br \/>\nthe water. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The partnership between Jotun and Eagle Bulk will assist the integrated&#13;<br \/>\nshipowner and operator of bulk carriers in accelerating its zero-carbon vision&#13;<br \/>\nas it takes a leading role in promoting sustainable growth in the maritime&#13;<br \/>\nindustry through its environmental efforts. Commenting on the partnership, <b><i>Eagle&#13;<br \/>\nBulk&#8217;s Director of Technical Management Claus Jensen<\/i><\/b> said: &#8220;We at Eagle&#13;<br \/>\nBulk Shipping Inc. are pleased with our partnership with Jotun to redefine the&#13;<br \/>\nnext generation of hull and vessel performance.\u00a0&#13;<br \/>\nWe are both proud and elated to have signed this agreement and taken a&#13;<br \/>\nstep towards decarbonization with Jotun Hull Skating Solutions. We also hope&#13;<br \/>\nthis inspires others to even more industry partnerships and to engage in the&#13;<br \/>\npursuit of reducing global carbon emissions.&#8221;\u00a0&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While the shipping sector has achieved some progress towards decarbonization,&#13;<br \/>\nit faces major challenges in reaching IMO goals to reduce emissions as&#13;<br \/>\nalternative low-carbon fuel technologies are not currently available at&#13;<br \/>\nsufficient price and scale to facilitate widespread\u00a0implementation. Therefore, taking operational measures such as proactive&#13;<br \/>\nhull cleaning offer an immediate pathway to improve environmental performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Claudio Iurilli, Managing Director of Jotun Malaysia and Singapore<\/i><\/b> commented: &#8220;We look at HullSkater as a&#13;<br \/>\nground-breaking approach to biofouling management. We are absolutely delighted&#13;<br \/>\nthat Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. understands the potential of the Jotun Hull&#13;<br \/>\nSkating Solutions when it comes to their business practices as well as the impact&#13;<br \/>\nit has on the environment as a whole. As a company, we strive to go beyond&#13;<br \/>\nimproving operational efficiency by also focusing on concrete environmental goals&#13;<br \/>\nand fostering deeper relations with our community. This agreement is a step in&#13;<br \/>\nthe right direction, and we are hopeful of its ripple effect to progressively&#13;<br \/>\nreaffirm how small changes can set the example for what a sustainable shipping&#13;<br \/>\nindustry should look like in the future.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0&#13;\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The commercial agreement between Jotun and Eagle Bulk was officiated in&#13;<br \/>\nSingapore on the 2 December 2021.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For more information on The Jotun Group, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jotun.com\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For more information on The Jotun Group&#8217;s Hull Skating Solutions, please&#13;<br \/>\nvisit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jointherevhullution.com\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Find press materials and images&#13;<br \/>\nthrough this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/sh\/o2o2ymx5puin1yy\/AADBs-3vXbVq-jmphWYH_HkVa?dl=0\">link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/news\/2022-01-11\/114795\/jotun-signs-commercial-agreement-with-leading-shipowner-eagle-bulk-shipping-inc-to-accelerate-sustainability-efforts-with-hull-skating-solutions\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SINGAPORE&#13; &#8211;\u00a0Media&#13; OutReach\u00a0&#8211;\u00a011 January 2022 &#8211;\u00a0Jotun, the&#13; leading provider of high-performance hull coatings for the global maritime&#13; industry, has entered into a commercial agreement with US-based shipowner Eagle&#13; Bulk Shipping Inc. for adoption of Jotun Hull Skating Solutions to enhance&#13; vessel performance by minimizing biofouling. \u00a0 Under the new partnership, Eagle Bulk&#8217;s bulk carrier Shanghai &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19848,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[60],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19847"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19847"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19847\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19848"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eodishasamachar.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
