Smarter dry dock planning for lasting hull performance

Dry docking solutions
Understand your hull management options and how to combine and use them most effectively
Hempaguard
From X7, the world’s most applied silicone coating, to biocide-free Hempablue, the Hempaguard range supports different vessel types and operational demands – helping you maximise operational performance and energy efficiency across your fleet.
Seamflow
Gain an extra performance boost with SeamFlow that smooths out welding seems, roughness and uneven transitions, reducing drag so your hull performs at its best.
Antifoulings
Whether used alone or in combi specifications, our conventional antifoulings are the preferred choice after silicones – helping maintain efficiency while balancing route profiles, idle time and coating budgets.
Services
Project management ensures your coating is applied correctly, risks are minimised, and fuel savings achieved. Our experts coordinate with the yard, contractors and crew to keep your docking on track and performance on target.
