Brochure On Underwater

Treatment Of Hulls

Available From Jotun

Jotun Marine Coatings has just published a new brochure titled

Zero Growth In Fuel Consump- tion— How Close Can You Get?

It describes how proper under- water treatment of hulls can re- sult in dramatic savings in fuel costs.

Four case studies of various types of ships are presented. The one for a 21-knot, 32,000-dwt con- tainership indicates that de- creased fuel consumption result- ing from blastcleaning the hull and applying a sophisticated paint system can result in savings, based on fuel costs of $160 per ton, of up to $689,000 after one year. On the same ship, accumu- lated savings after five years are estimated at $3.7 million.
