With a century of experience charting 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 icon

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 icon

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 icon

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 ensures clean operations. ​Clean operations save fuel.

Biofouling in shipping

To develop a global picture of biofouling management and related impacts, Jotun carried out an industry report including answers from 1000 ship owners and operators. Download the short version report to read more about the hidden costs of existing knowledge gaps across regulatory penalties, fuel inefficiencies and environmental risks.

Clean Shipping Survey Report

Jotun's Clean Shipping Survey takes a deep dive into the shipping industry’s knowledge of biofouling on ships’ hulls, the technologies available to manage it, and whether international regulations play a part in developing a response to the issue. The survey of shipping professionals, conducted by Lloyd’s List, follows on from the recent GloFouling report published by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and shows that most industry leaders underestimate biofouling’s negative environmental impact.
