FOR SHIP OPERATORS
Power up with Selektope®
Even small barnacle coverage creates drag, driving up costs. Selektope® keeps hulls barnacle-free, reducing drag, saving fuel, and lowering emissions for smoother, cost-effective voyages.
Keeps the hull barnacle-free
Selektope® keeps the ship hull free from barnacles and protects it even at idle in biofouling hot spots.
Helps reduce emissions
A clean hull reduces water resistance, lowering fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
OUTFITTING IN SHIPYARD
Protect the hull from barnacles during outfitting
Protecting ship hulls during extended outfitting periods – often over 12 months – is no small task. Rising water temperatures and prolonged static exposure make it even tougher.
That’s why products powered by Selektope® is a game changer, delivering resistance to barnacle fouling when it matters most.
From pure outfitting layers to innovative hybrid systems, these coatings ensure outstanding performance during both outfitting and idling – keeping hulls clean, efficient, and ready for the seas.
THE IDLING CHALLENGE
Barnacle-free, even in extreme waters
Did you know that just 10-20% barnacle coverage on a ship’s hull can increase drag by a staggering 36%, wiping out the benefits of fuel-saving technologies?
Designed to protect vessels during extended idle periods – even in the world’s most high-risk fouling areas – Selektope®-infused antifouling paints keep hulls clean, fuel efficiency intact, and environmental impact low.
Since its debut, Selektope® has become the trusted choice for major marine coating manufacturers, helping hundreds of ships stay barnacle-free during both idling and low-speed operations.
