The forum, hosted by The GloFouling Partnerships initiative, a project by IMO, gathers the industry under the theme "Shaping the Future of Biofouling Management”.
Among the distinguished speakers, Petter Korslund, Regulatory Affairs Manager at Jotun Performance Coatings, will present "Biofouling Management through Digital Solutions," highlighting one technology and solution that can help the industry and authorities to manage biofouling and eventually make the shipping industry cleaner.
“Ensuring that the industry is aware of and understands the solutions and technologies is important. That way regulators and stakeholders can set the scene for the industry based on experience-based knowledge and proven effects. As a leader within this topic, we are obliged to put focus on the challenges and drive the industry forward,” said Petter Korslund.
“This forum provides a unique platform for stakeholders to discuss pressing challenges and share innovative solutions in biofouling management.”
At the forum Korslund will present Jotun’s approach to digital solutions – including HullKeeper – which delivers actionable data and intelligence on underwater hull condition and enables users to actively make faster & more informed decisions.
The GloFouling R&D Forum will cover a wide range of topics within biofouling managements and will be held in Busan, South Korea, from November 4 to November 8, 2024.
Jotun, the global leader in marine coatings, is excited to continue its legacy and long-lasting presence at Nor-Shipping. Between June 3rd and June 6th at this year’s Nor-Shipping, Jotun will launch new innovations that will enable a cleaner shipping industry. A brand-new global report on the industry’s biofouling management and the consequences will also be presented.
A trend towards more use of data-driven, digital vessel performance systems is gathering pace in the shipping industry. This was one of the main takeaways from the 10th HullPIC conference last month. Collaboration between stakeholders, continuous innovation, and knowledge sharing were also emphasised as critical drivers for advancing performance management and sustainability efforts.
To ensure quantifiable numbers on how much CO₂ emissions Jotun coated vessel have avoided thanks to its coatings in 2024, DNV Maritime Advisory has performed a technical evaluation. With 11.1 million tons avoided CO₂ for its customers in 2024, the effect of Jotun’s Hull performance is proven and stands as a testament to Jotun’s Clean shipping commitment.
