Supporting fleet optimization with data driven decision-making
Maximizing vessel performance through collaboration
This whitepaper explores how data collaboration between International® and vessel operators supports informed decision-making and improves vessel performance reliability. It analyzes three LNG vessels over a 60-month service period, all coated with Intersleek® 1100SR, a high-performance, biocide-free silicone fouling release coating.
Key highlights:
- Challenges of relying solely on vessel performance metrics to assess hull and coating condition.
- The value of a broader perspective, expertise, and diverse datasets to support informed decisions.
- Insights into maximising efficiency while supporting decarbonisation efforts.
- The application of Intersleek 1100SR significantly contributed to a smooth, clean hull.
