Jotun Hull Performance Solutions has been asked to lead the work on the standard and will share its experience and data to identify a method.<\/p>\n
Jotun says by improving hull and propeller performance, the world fleet can reduce fuel costs by as much as US$30bn per year and achieve an estimated 0.3% reduction in manmade greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.<\/p>\n
But the main barrier is reaching this has been a lack of an accurate and reliable method for measuring hull and propeller performance over time.<\/p>\n
Geir Axel Oftedahl, business development director, Jotun Hull Performance Solutions, said: \u201cIf we are successful in reaching general agreement on a method for measuring hull and propeller performance, it will make a substantial contribution to the industry \u2013 and help align the interests of ship owners, charterers, ship builders and eco-technology providers such as Jotun.\u201d<\/p>\n
In cooperation with the Bellona Foundation and Standard Norway, Jotun has gathered together industry stakeholders in an effort to reach general agreement, which the company says is critical.<\/p>\n
In preparation for work on the international standard, Bellona has submitted two proposals to the IMO\u2019s Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC), and Standard Norway and Jotun have co-authored the New Work Item Proposal that has now been approved by the ISO.<\/p>\n
Over the next six to 12 months, the ISO expert group will produce a draft standard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
