Coral Expeditions manages biofouling with graphene coatings and robotic cleaning

In a cruise industry first, Australian expedition cruise specialist Coral Expeditions is to use a combination of robotic hull cleaning and graphene-based hard foul release coatings from GIT Coatings on its 2019-built, 93.5 meter expedition ship Coral Adventurer.

In April, the 120-passenger ship was initially coated with two of GIT’s graphene-based hard foul release coatings. Its hull was coated with XGIT-FUEL and its propellers with XGIT-PROP.

Pacific Basin to apply graphene-based propeller coatings on 40 ships

One of the world’s largest bulker operators, Hong Kong headquartered Pacific Basin Shipping Limited, is to apply a sustainable graphene-based propeller coating, XGIT-PROP, across its entire fleet. The innovative coating has been developed by Canadian company GIT Coatings, which notes that it has demonstrated the potential to enhance vessel performance by up to 4%, making it a highly effective solution to improve CII and RightShip GHG ratings.

Following successful application and obtaining...
