This investment underscores Sallaum Lines' commitment to delivering value, embracing innovation, and setting new benchmarks in clean shipping practices.
Sallaum Lines has made a significant move towards optimising hull performance and reducing the environmental impact
of its fleet with the investment in Jotun’s Hull Performance Solution
(HPS), including HullKeeper, for its new 4 PCTC vessel under construction at Nanjing Jinling Shipyard (China).
HPS, in conjunction with HullKeeper, combines high-performance antifouling coatings with expert technical support during newbuilds, alongside performance analytics based on ISO 19030-2 and an intelligent hull condition management programme through HullKeeper.
“Jotun has been a long-time partner with Sallaum Lines and we have obtained excellent results with Jotun’s HPS in our in-service vessels and we like them to be part of our wavemakers,” has stated Puneet Arora, Head of Technical at Sallaum lines DMCC.
HPS and HullKeeper provide a comprehensive dock-to-dock hull management solution and foster collaboration between all stakeholders to ensure the optimal outcome for Sallaum Lines’ new PCTC fleet. Solutions like HPS and HullKeeper from Jotun will be pivotal in advancing cleaner operations while ensuring cost efficiency during the fleet's fuel transition, especially with the inevitable rise in the cost of sustainable fuel choices.
“In near-term, optimising hull performance will contribute positively towards regulatory requirements, such as IMO’s CII and potential carbon tax implications, as well as potential exposure to regional regulatory requirements like EU ETS and FuelEU in EU waters,” has added Mohamed Ehab, Key Accounts Manager – Shipping, Jotun UAE Ltd.
