Future of things to come in the marine industry.
Our team of chemical engineers, material scientists, biologists, hydrodynamic experts, physicists and – nowadays – digital innovation specialists have been developing innovative technologies for decades to transform the shipping industry. Working on projects like biomimicry, drone technology, intelligent sensors and big data applications, we now have the ability to care for vessels at agreed performance levels with our advanced coatings and technology.
The marine industry is starting a new chapter in terms of the way ships are designed, built, operated and maintained. Autonomous vessel operation, digital connections through global satellites and new powering solutions will lead to a whole new generation of naval architects and we will witness much more collaborative partnerships across the value chain.
Sustainability is a key driver to develop these exciting technologies and it is the only way forward in shipping. With that belief as our compass, we’ve developed a number of initiatives to limit environmental impact and increase the sustainability of products across the entire industry.
Reducing the environmental impact of shipping and increasing the share of sustainable products is not just our responsibility. We work closely with other key industry players like our recent agreement with Maersk, in which we are creating transparency on sustainable best practices in the supply chain and reducing carbon emissions. We have also partnered with the Volvo Ocean Race and The Ocean Clean Up to develop programs that will drive sustainability.
