The ultimate fuel-saving hull coating
Hempaguard keeps fouling at bay, even if your vessel undergoes extensive idle periods, changes trading patterns or steams slowly, and provides extremely low average hull roughness. This is achieved thanks to the combination of silicone-hydrogel Actiguard technology with the controlled release of biocide. As a result, you benefit from an impressive average fuel saving of up to 8 per cent over the entire docking interval compared to best-in-class antifoulings and extremely low average speed loss down to 1.2 per cent – whatever your vessel’s trading pattern.
Get CII and EEXI ready in the most efficient way
Experience how a hull coating upgrade will help you get CII and EEXI ready – at low total cost and fast return on investment.
Get the facts, see the cases, have us make a vessel-specific assessment of how you and your ships will gain.
The solution is Hempaguard MaX
By switching to the Hempaguard MaX hull coating system, you will improve the efficiency of your vessel, whether you are burning HSFO or LSFO – enabling you to offset the cost increases caused by the 2020 SOx regulation.
If you switch to LSFO, the savings delivered by Hempaguard MaX will help balance the cost of the more expensive fuel. If you continue to use HSFO, Hempaguard MaX will cover the cost of the scrubber within around five years.
Faster in the dock. Faster in service
Hempaguard MaX brings fuel efficiencies at sea, delivered by the combination of its advanced antifouling capability and the extremely low Average Hull Roughness from the synergy of its interdependent layers. But this innovative three-coat system also saves up to two days in the dry dock.
Proven fuel-saving performance
Hempaguard can be specified for docking intervals of up to 90 months and is recommended for any ship operator. It has proven its effectiveness on hundreds of full-ship applications. So, don’t just take our word for it, check out what our customers think of Hempaguard in our case stories section.
The ultimate in flexibility
Extensive real-life application tests have proven that Hempaguard is equally effective regardless of the vessel’s trading pattern – and it continues to perform when slow steaming or during idle periods of up to 120 days in fouling-aggressive waters. This means you can utilise your fleet based on your business needs, without experiencing an increase in fuel performance.
Hempaguard real-life performance
Extensive real-life application tests have proven that the effect of Hempaguard is always the same, regardless of the trading pattern of the vessel and, in particular, when slow steaming and even during idling time in aggressive waters.
Performance satisfaction guarantee
We believe that nothing compares with our Hempaguard fouling defence system. If you are not satisfied with the performance of our top-of-the-range Hempaguard X7 and Hempaguard X8 coatings, we will pay for conversion back to a conventional antifouling.*
