ECOSPEED is a Hydrex technology. It consists of an impermeable and extremely tough coating that is combined with an underwater cleaning system. This keeps the hull roughness at an optimum level and results in major fuel savings. This decrease in fuel consumption, combined with the fact that Ecospeed is a 100% non-toxic technology, contributes to the reduction of carbon footprints. The coating is guaranteed for 10 years. Its surface texture will improve over time with regular inwater hull maintenance.

Ecospeed ship hull performance technology lasts the lifetime of the vessel. The need for full repaints during future drydockings is eliminated. This is another important step towards realizing the current trend of prolonging drydock intervals from the current maximum of 5 years to a period of 10 years.

Ecospeed advantages for newbuild vessels:

• The timing of an Ecospeed application is geared to the schedule of the yard. This flexibility can be easily achieved with Ecospeed because the coating has versatile application potential.

• Ecospeed will remain intact for the lifetime of the vessel and is guaranteed for ten years.

• Ecospeed is both flexible and tough. It provides an impenetrable protective layer that enables absorption of the forces that are produced by cavitation.

• Ecospeed keeps a ship’s performance stable and protects the owner’s investment. A fixed distance/fuel ratio can be determined in advance.

• Research proved that the coating is 100% toxin-free and that there is no negative effect on the water quality or the marine environment at any point of its application or use.

• Several economically important ports have overturned the ban on cleaning for vessels coated with Ecospeed.
