Nor-Shipping 2025 set the stage to share how our coatings are helping shipowners meet today’s regulatory and performance demands.

Held in Oslo this June, Nor-Shipping brought together key players across the global maritime value chain. Our team at International® was there to engage with shipowners, operators and industry leaders, highlighting how our technologies support CII and EEXI compliance, while improving long-term efficiency.

Supporting compliance through smarter coatings

Fuel efficiency and sustainability were front and centre across the event. It was a chance to demonstrate how our fouling control coatings play a role in helping fleets reduce their environmental impact.

A smooth, biofouling resistant hull helps reduce drag, cut fuel consumption and lower emissions—all key to meeting current and future IMO regulations.

“One of the easiest ways shipping companies can ensure they meet their CII and EEXI requirements is to apply a high-quality fouling control coating.”

— Trevor Solomon, Business Development Manager, AkzoNobel

Insights from Nor-Shipping

Throughout the week, conversations focused on:

• The role of coatings in driving fleet efficiency
• Using data to support coating strategies and ROI
• Bridging short-term regulatory pressure with long-term sustainability goals

We saw significant interest in how International® combines high performance coatings with digital tools like Intertrac® Vision to support more informed decisions around dry docking, fuel savings and decarbonization planning.
