By deploying International Paint’s fouling control coatings in conjunction with the BMT SMARTSERVICES system, ship owners and operators will be able to benefit from a measurable reduction in energy use and CO2 emissions.
BMT ARGOSS will install the system and independently monitor, report to stakeholders, the performance of their vessels.
When employed as a package, the BMT system can be used with International Paint’s IntersmoothSPC, as well as Intersleek, the latest generation fluoropolymer foul release coating that offers fuel and emission savings of up to 9%².
BMT ARGOSS managing director Han Wensink said BMT SMARTSERVICES will clearly and transparently demonstrate any in-service performance changes when International Paint’s hull coatings have been used.
"Equipped with a user friendly Web based interface and drawing on BMT’s 24/7 access to high quality metocean data, the new system can play a major role in improving operational efficiency of the global shipping fleet," Wensink said.
