Fathom Shipping, the information specialists on maritime efficiency, have launched the second edition of their free publication series for the maritime industry entitled Fathom FOCUS Hull Coatings for Vessel Performance, at their 3rd annual Ship Efficiency conference and exhibition.

The publication offers an independent analysis of the anti-fouling hull coating solutions available on the market in addition to in-depth editorial content that spans the history of the market, the regulatory landscape and the science behind the anti-fouling coating concepts. The publication also includes chapters that delve into hull performance monitoring and hull cleaning.

Catherine McMillan, Director, Fathom Shipping commented: "Whilst our flagship publication, Ship Efficiency: The Guide, is a comprehensive roadmap to the ship efficiency labyrinth, the FOCUS publication series offers in-depth, practical guidance that focuses on a single market area such as this one to act as a guide to navigating the hull coatings market."

"This publication series ensures that owners, operators and managers can easily access important information, for free, in an easy-to-digest format wherever they may be," she added.

The publication is available for free download via the Fathom Shipping website, fathomshipping.com.
