Managing the complexities of hull efficiency and fouling control with data-driven decision-making

International® marine coatings discusses the foundational role of coatings in ship energy efficiency improvement, and the nuances of interpreting ship data to inform operational decisions.

In this episode of the Seatrade Maritime Podcast, the role of coatings and fouling control on ship performance is explored in detail, with a particular eye on the role of data and data interpretation in informing decision making.

Seatrade Maritime News correspondent Gary Howard speaks to Barry Kidd, vessel performance manager at AkzoNobel's International® marine coatings, about the findings of a new white paper titled "Optimizing Vessel Performance for Decarbonization Goals: Managing the Complexities of Hull Efficiency and Fouling Control with Data-Driven Decision Making", and what the latest research unveils about the role of coatings and fouling control in improving ship efficiency.

Kidd explains the current drivers for improving ship efficiency, regulatory developments concerning hull coatings, and the important role of proper hull preparation and application processes in maximizing the effectiveness of these coatings.

The conversation covers AkzoNobel's use of data and technology to offer its customers detailed forecasts for coatings performance over time, and how the latest research adds to other recent whitepapers analysing the performance of the company's products both in isolation and in conjunction with other energy saving devices:
