Ecospeed Keeps Hulls Clean

Routine in-water cleaning results in a super smooth hull over the life of the vessel and is the best guarantee of the highest fuel savings possible.

This is achieved with the Ecospeed hull coating and routine in-water conditioning and cleaning.

Ecoshield is a special glassfl ake coating designed to protect rudders and other underwater running gear from cavitation and corrosion damage for the life of the ves- sel with a single application. www.hydrex.be

Vessel Specifi c Hull Coatings AkzoNobel’s Marine Coatings has developed a soft- ware system that enables shipowners to assess and predict the risk of hull fouling dependent on a ves- sel’s transit route. Intertrac overlays a vessel’s route, speed and location data with comprehensive fouling challenge datasets enabling coating specifi cations to be tailored specifi cally to an individual vessel’s trad- ing routes, ensuring effective cost management for hull coatings, maximizing vessel’s operational effi ciencies. www.akzonobel.com

Extra-Wide Shrink Wrap

Protects Oversized Assets

Larger and oversized assets need just as much protec- tion from the elements as smaller items. Now they can be shrink wrapped just as easily with Dr. Shrink’s new 60-ft. wide premium shrink wrap.

With the large width, it’s much simpler to cover ex- tra-large machinery, boats, or other equipment during transport or storage. It also enables one-piece coverage, further streamlining the shrink wrap process. www.dr-shrink.com
