SMM Jotun, Sandefjord

SMM Jotun, Sandefjord The need for sustainability improvements in the shipping industry is accelerating. The industry must cut carbon emissions, protect marine biodiversity and leverage the use of data for smarter decision-making. Jotun is committed to continuously innovate and develop advanced products and solutions designed to protect biodiversity and cut carbon emissions to support global sustainability ambitions and achieve cleaner operations. In June 2023, Jotun proudly presented its »Clean Shipping Commitment« to the industry and thereby establishing a new framework as well as new documentation and for sure also new possibilities, both for the company and its customers. By now, the impact of a clean hull is widely known: Itreduces speed loss and thereby saves fuel, it reduces the vessel9s operational downtime, and it assists in ensuring regulatory compliance as well as protecting biodiversity by reducing the risk of transmigration of foreign aquatic species. »Protecting the current merchant fleet from biofouling has the potential of cutting CO 2 emissions by as much as 19 %«, the company stated. »Regulations related to the prevention of marine aquatic species are getting ever stricter and having a clean hull will be essential moving forward. And as we9ve always been preaching – a clean hull is an efficient hull and ensures cleaner operations and more efficient operations.« Since it has been established in 1926, Jotun has been committed to innovation, providing the industry with cutting edge products and solutions. Jotun is one of the world9s leading manufacturers of decorative paints, marine, protective and powder coatings.

Hall B5 | booth 436 © Jotun Knaack & Jahn, Hamburg © Knaack & Jahn Knaack & Jahn will be presenting their comprehensive and sustainable portfolio with a quality and full-service profile at SMM: »The 4-Dimension Specialists«. These four key dimensions in shipbuilding services and modern retrofitting are: Piping, Steelwork, HVACR and Fire Protection. The company is headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, with branch offices in both Bremen and Kiel. Knaack & Jahn9s product and service portfolio includes thermal oil systems, exhaust systems, the replacement of fresh-water systems, hydraulic lines and systems, as well as the installation of piping on entire decks and in fire zones. Also part of their portfolio is the installation of ballast-water systems, both in new builds and as part of retrofits. In addition to the flushing of hydraulic systems, another new feature of the company9s service profile is the provision of own flushing units, including a calibrated particle analyser. Both as part of installation and later when carrying out maintenance work, thoroughly flushing out hydraulic fluid helps prevent potentially serious damage or failures caused by contaminants in the fluid. With regard to fire-extinguishing technology, our product range includes sprinkler systems such as standard, water mist, drencher, ship- and total-protection systems, Novec1230 and CO 2 systems. The »KJ FireOff« water mist system offer a wide variety of applications thanks to their innovative technology. Knaack & Jahn also demonstrate their financial awareness to their clients when handling complex projects. This is essential because clients must be able to calculate the costs of state-of-the-art conversions and retrofits. For transparent costings, clear messages and clear-cut designs are value systems on which a quality and full-service profile can be founded, now and in the future. »This is what Knaack & Jahn stands for with the pledge they make to their clients – we deliver«, the company stated. Visitors will easily find the booth thanks to its blue-white lighthouse. Hall B5 | booth 524 76 HANSA – International Maritime Journal 09 | 2024
