Coated With Jotun Seaconomy

Ship No. 500 to be protected with Jotun's Seaconomy low-cost antifouling is VLCC World Champion.

The 273,117-dwt VLCC World Champion owned by World-Wide Shipping of Hong Kong recently became the 500th ship to be coated by

Jotun's Seaconomy, a low-cost, selfpolishing an- tifouling said to give a drydocking interval of 30 months.

The range of antifoulings available from the worldwide network of Jotun Marine Coatings, headquartered in Sandefjord, Norway, incorpo- rates the latest developments in selfpolishing, organotin copolymer technology. Seaconomy, the most recently introduced product that went on the market only 18 months ago, was specially developed to replace the long-life antifoulings at no extra cost. In addition, the company's Sea- mate HB gives optimum antifouling protection, while Seaflex was formulated for upgrading of existing conventional long-life antifoulings.

Providing a linear rate of biocide release, the low-cost Seaconomy is said to offer better anti- fouling performance than a long-life treatment.

In addition, its selfpolishing action insures that there is no increase in hull roughness while in service.

Seaconomy can often be used without shot- blasting, needs no sealing coat, and normally can be applied in a single coat for drydocking inter- vals of 24 months, depending on the condition of the hull. According to Jotun, no really effective, conventionally acting, long-life antifouling sys- tem is available for such infrequent mainte- nance.

The selective protective treatment on the

World Champion comprised two coats of Jotun

Vinylguard Silvergrey modified vinyl primer, followed by a single coat of Seaconomy. This enabled the owner to follow a very tight dry- docking schedule and obtain the benefits of a selfpolishing antifouling.
