Finnlines RO/RO and RoPax fleets to get XGIT-FUEL hull coatings

Grimaldi Group member Finnlines is to apply XGIT-FUEL, an innovative graphene-based hard foul release hull coating, across its RO/RO and RoPax fleets Starting with a first vessel in 2022, Finnlines has already applied the high-performance hull coating, developed by Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, based Graphite Innovation & Technologies (GIT) Coatings, to four vessels as part of a recently signed fleet agreement.

Over the past decade, Finnlines has invested significantly in its sustainability...
