Tank Coating for Navig8 Chem Carriers

Shipowner Navig8 is progressing the application of Interline9001, a advanced cargo tank coating from AkzoNobel’s International marine product range, on a series of 18 chemical tankers currently under con- struction at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard, South Korea. According to the coating’s manufacturer, Navig8 selected its Interline9001 to deliver operational bene? ts for the 37,000 dwt vessels, providing increased vessel capacity and maximum operational ? exibility required to meet increased market demand for large volume contract of affreightment.

In addition, Navig8 has selected Interline9001 for a further four 49,000 dwt vessels under construction at STX shipyard, also in South Korea.

Interline9001 is a Bimodal Epoxy coating for the cargo tanks of chem- ical tankers. With enhanced cargo resistance, near zero absorption for many cargoes and fewer cycling restrictions, Interline9001 simpli? es the carriage of a wide range of liquid cargoes. www.akzonobel.com

VGP-compliant Frease from Klüber Lubrication

Klüberbio AG 39-602 is an environmentally acceptable adhesive lu- bricant for open gears and steel cables. Based on ester oil and selected additives, the grease complies with the requirements for environmen- tally acceptable lubricants (EALs) as de? ned in Appendix A of the

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 2013 Vessel General Permit (VGP). Klüberbio AG 39-602 contains greater than 60 percent of re- newable raw materials, resulting in reduced environmental impact in the event of discharge into water. With its good adhesion to surfaces and water resistance, Klüberbio AG 39-602 leads to long relubrication intervals. The product’s anti-corrosion and anti-wear additives also en- sure longer component life and reduced wear. Klüberbio AG 39-602 meets the biodegradability, minimally toxic and non-bioaccumulative standards established by the 2013 VGP. www.klueber.com
