International Paint joins SEAaT


Marine coatings specialist becomes associate member of industry association aimed at reducing emissions.

SEAaT (Shipping Emissions Abatement and Trading), the industry association dedicated to shipping emissions abatement and trading, has announced that International Paint Ltd. has joined them as an associate member.

"International Paint is a world leader in marine coatings and has developed systems designed to reduce fuel consumption and thereby emissions from shipping. It is technologies such as these that will assist the maritime industry with reducing its environmental footprint," SEAaT said in a statement.

"SEAaT and its members are united in calling for a reduction in emissions from shipping using technological as well as operational methods, facilitated by an emissions trading scheme," SEAaT added.

John Aitken, Secretary General, SEAaT, said: "It’s an honour for SEAaT to welcome International Paint among our associate members. So long as shipping aims to reduce its air emissions, technological innovations such as reduced friction hull coatings are bound to play a key role."

Commenting on the news, John Willsher, Market Manager, International Paint said: "Enabling emissions reduction from shipping is a technological and regulatory challenge. The latest generation of hull coatings play a key role in meeting this challenge through proven reductions in fuel usage and carbon dioxide emissions."
