Silicone foul-release coating retrofit
vendor claim — not yet independently measuredA silicone-based hull coating on which marine growth struggles to attach and is washed off by the water flow underway. Cuts frictional resistance versus conventional antifouling; the capex shown is the premium over a standard repaint.

Measured real-world outcomes
The reduction range above is a vendor claim. We continuously detect completed retrofits in shipyard-visit, equipment and EU MRV emissions data and measure the actual AER change. Measured results are published per measure once at least 30 controlled observations exist — until then, treat vendor ranges as ceilings: real-world delivery is consistently at or below the low end.
