Hempaguard Marine Coating earns DNV validation

The performance of Hempel’s silicone-based hull coating solution, Hempaguard X7, and its ability to accelerate decarbonization efforts in the maritime industry are now third-party validated by DNV.

According to Hempel, external validation by DNV allows it to better demonstrate the value of Hempaguard to its customers, including energy efficiency gains and carbon emissions reductions.

DNV’s verification objectively confirms Hempaguard’s performance when it comes to the reduction of CO2e emissions from the maritime industry. In addition, fuel savings of up to 20% and average speed loss of 1.4% have been validated by the third party.
