HPS 2.0 is presented for the first time to the shipping industry at Nor-Shipping in Norway and represents a significant enhancement to the HPS that was introduced in 2011. Included in HPS 2.0 are two new products for different trades and environments, alongside the established and newly speed-loss verified SeaQuantum X200, best-in-class technical service, hull condition management and performance guarantees to deliver a solution that is Tailored to trade™.
"We are thrilled to present HPS 2.0, a testament to our Clean shipping commitment and our focus on innovation that has been ongoing since 1926. This enhanced solution, consisting of products, services, data and our credible performance guarantees is designed to meet the evolving needs of our customers, ensuring optimal hull performance and supporting their ESG ambitions," said Morten Sten Johansen, Global Category Director for Hull Performance in Jotun.
HPS 2.0 will include four elements, that in combination will optimise vessel efficiency: Jotun’s best antifouling technologies - tailored to trade, technical service from the industry's largest team of coatings advisors, intelligent hull condition management and credible performance guarantees.
Solutions tailored to specific needs are crucial as various trade patterns and operating environments each require specific coatings for optimal efficiency.
A recent study, presented by Jotun during Nor-Shipping 2025, showcase the need for various antifouling technologies and that there is still an untapped opportunity for many ship owners and operators when it comes to optimising the hull performance.
“Although various antifouling technologies are available, their effectiveness is dependent on the marine environment, trade patterns and the predictability of the trades. A tailored approach to antifouling, can help ship owners and operators achieve optimised effectiveness,” said Morten Sten Johansen in Jotun.
“However, 1 in 5 ship owners and operators are aware that they are not using the most effective antifouling coating for each vessel in their fleet today. The impact of having optimised hull performance for the entire fleet is massive. DNV recently verified that Jotun coated vessels avoided 11.1 million tonnes CO₂ in 2024, or worth approximately 2 billion USD in fuels, so there are definitely big gains to be made, both on an environmental and economical level, for each operator and for the industry as a whole.”
With more than 1200 coating advisors worldwide, Jotun provides unmatchable technical service to ensure optimal hull performance. Jotun’s experts will as a part of HPS 2.0 provide on-site support and tailored recommendations to maximise efficiency and longevity and ensure application of coatings is to the highest standard.
Through data-driven tools, Jotun help optimise vessel efficiency by analysing key performance data according to ISO 19030. This helps identify improvement areas and minimise fouling, which in turn will reduce fuel consumption. Included for users of HPS 2.0 is the performance analysis service in Jotun’s well-known HullKeeper platform, to synergize intelligence on hull condition with hull performance analysis, enabling operators to make better and faster decision through actionable insights.
Jotun’s dock-to-dock guarantee ensures continuous performance from one dry docking to the next, maintaining consistent hull efficiency throughout. The guarantees will ensure peace of mind for operators and is a testament to the proven and promised performance that HPS 2.0 is delivering.
With nearly 100 years of experience navigating unknown waters, Jotun remains committed to innovating and developing advanced products and solutions that cut carbon emissions, preserve fuel and protect biodiversity.
"In 2011, we revolutionised the industry with our groundbreaking HPS, moving from promised to proven performance. As the true home of hull performance, we are proud that the industry has jumped on board with this solution and consider hull performance as a core element of vessel efficiency. By introducing HPS 2.0, we will continue our legacy and build on our proven performance and move forward with an even more comprehensive solution tailored to our customers' specific trade requirements,” said Morten Sten Johansen.

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.
