About the event:
Hull coatings for marine ships have always been critical in preventing corrosion and deterring the settlement of fouling species. However, increasing regulation such as the IMO targets to reduce shipping's greenhouse gas emissions and to minimise the transfer of invasive species, has significantly added to the performance requirements placed hull coatings in addition to the requirement to protect the hull from the corrosive environment encountered around scrubber penetrations.
