I-Tech, Developers of Selektope®

🚢 Meet Us at HullPIC 2025!   We're excited to attend HullPIC 2025, where our CEO Markus Jönsson and Senior Advisor Marine Ulf Hansen will represent I-Tech and Selektope® at this key technical conference.   Markus will deliver a presentation to present the findings of an extensive study conducted by I-Tech and Safinah analyzing hull condition data from over 600 ships in dry dock (2018-2024). The research provides critical insights into the scale and impact of hard fouling (barnacle growth) across the global fleet and highlights the role of Selektope® in improving hull performance.   Event Details 📅 Date: 25-26 February 2025 📍 Location: Mulheim, Germany   Join us to discuss how better antifouling strategies can drive fleet efficiency, sustainability, and compliance. If you’re attending HullPIC 2025, don’t miss the chance to connect and explore innovative solutions for fouling control and hull optimization. See you there!   #HullPIC2025 #Antifouling #Selektope #MaritimeInnovation #ShipEfficiency #SustainableShipping #ITechAB

🎙️ Where Would We Be Without Biocides?   Without biocidal antifouling coatings, the maritime industry would face higher fuel consumption, increased CO₂ emissions, rising costs, and greater environmental risks. Fouled hulls also threaten vessel safety and hinder global decarbonization efforts.   Biocides are highly regulated and rigorously assessed to ensure their safe use, leaving only 10 marine biocides globally approved for antifouling coatings. Among them, Selektope® stands out as an innovative antifouling solution—offering effective barnacle fouling control with minimal environmental impact.   🔗 Read the whitepaper to understand why biocides are essential to efficient antifouling coatings: https://lnkd.in/d6fY2FX3 #Biocides #Selektope #SustainableShipping #AntifoulingSolutions #MarineInnovation #Decarbonization #CleanOceans
