Released in 2017, AQUATERRAS broke new ground in fouling prevention with its biocide-free formulation.

Nippon Paint Marine announced the successful application of AQUATERRAS, Nippon Paint Marine’s biocide-free, low-VOC, SPC solution, to a Wan Hai vessel, in China. The AQUATERRAS coating provides sustainable protection for the hull from fouling to deliver fuel savings of up to 14.7% over 60 months compared to the market average speed loss, whilst also reducing carbon emissions. In July 2024, Wan Hai Lines’ 71,336 DWT container vessel, M/V “Wan Hai 613”, entered Zhou Shan Chang Hong Shipyard, China, for scheduled ship repair and maintenance. During the dry-docking, Nippon Paint Marine applied a full coating with a newly developed low-VOC AQUATERRAS SPC solution. Released in 2017, AQUATERRAS broke new ground in fouling prevention with its biocide-free formulation, representing a world first in the development of fouling protection technology. AQUATERRAS is an SPC coating that protects the marine environment by eliminating the elution of biocides into our seas and avoiding harm to untargeted marine life. The low friction coating protects marine life while achieving significant improvements in carbon reduction and fuel efficiency, compared with the market average, with effective fouling protection.
