Also sailing in polluted waters, why can some ships out of the "silt" without dyeing?

Ships face many challenges in the course of ocean navigation,
marine life on the hull of the defaceted is one of them,
attached to the hull of the sea creatures, will affect the ship's efficiency and power consumption.
if the ship is sailing in a heavily polluted area and has been moored for a longer period of time,
how can we ensure that the hull is not contaminated with marine life?
how to ensure that the hull is not contaminated with marine life?
For ships to sail in the most demanding marine environment, but also face frequent suspension and long-term mooring situation, how to deal with the ship suffered from marine life pollution of the most serious challenges, the only effective is to choose the anti-fouling paint solution! PPG convincingly handed over a user-satisfying answer.
Today's protagonist, Theresa Jiangsu
Tressa Jiangsu, was built in 2012 as a Kamsa bulk carrier with a capacity of 81,680 tons and has been moored for 65 days and 71 daysTeresa Jiangsu, a Singapore-based company that provides value-added shipping and management services, now manages and leases about 45 bulk carriers and 25 tankers, respectively.
TA's Marine Navigation Challenge
How to ensure that the underwater part of the hull is not adhered to sea creatures during the ship's berthing is key to achieving fuel-saving emissions and improving operational efficiency. Ship operators must therefore choose reliable anti-fouling paint solutions to protect the hull from marine life and eliminate its impact on ship operational efficiency. In particular, ships such as Teresa Jiangsu, often in the marine life defacement of high-risk areas of navigation and frequent suspension and long mooring time, anti-fouling paint solutions have long been a difficult technical problems and important concerns in the industry.
the challenges faced by ships in this particularly demanding navigational environment, Teresa chose
PPG SIGMA SAILADVANCE ™ RX high-
anti-fouling paint to meet the ship's need for hull deface protection in challenging environments.
PPG SIGMA SAILADVANCE RX uses surface controlled active polymer (CSP) technology, the paint film self-polished release of anti-fouling toxic materials at the same time, accompanied by lubricants infested in the coating and water interface, forming a stratosphere, thereby reducing the surface friction of the ship's navigation.
addition, CSP technology makes anti-fouling paint coating surfaces self-lubricating, thus ensuring that ships still have self-release anti-fouling properties even during the berthing period. Based on the unique advantages of CSP technology, PPG SIGMA SAILADVANCE RX extends the ship's continuous berthing time by an average of up to 30 days, effectively safeguarding the shipowner's planning expectations for fuel-saving emission reduction and energy efficiency efficiency.
ship anti-fouling protection solution - PPG SIGMA SAILADVANCE RX
PPG SIGMA SAILADVANCE RX high-performance anti-fouling paints are suitable for a wide range of ship types and speeds, especially for slow navigation. This anti-fouling paint provides excellent anti-fouling performance during long berthing periods, minimizing the impact of defaced bottoms on the ship's operating efficiency and minimizing operating costs.
Excellent anti-fouling performance

(Theresa's propeller condition, with shellfish-like sea creatures on the surface, showing the harsh defacement of the ship's shipping areas)
Theresa Jiangsu was not contaminated by sea creatures after 65 and 71 days of berthing in the Indonesian and Sydney waters. After the Teresa Jiangsu was moored in the sea where marine life thrived for a long time, Raffles representatives and divers examined the underwater hull and were impressed by its good appearance. Based on this outstanding performance, Raffles finally decided to use PPG SIGMA SAILADVANCE RX anti-fouling paint for the entire fleet of anti-fouling protection. PPG SIGMA SAILADVANCE RX anti-fouling paint is not only simple to prevent the hull from being defaced by marine life, but also effectively ensure that users save energy and efficiency, helping operators meet cost reduction expectations.
