SINGAPORE<\/span><\/span>, July 31, 2024<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — PPG (NYSE: PPG) today announced a collaboration with RightShip, a digital maritime sustainability platform, as part of Rightship’s Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program. The initiative aims to foster the development and adoption of innovative solutions to promote a more sustainable future in the maritime industry.<\/p>\n PPG’s revolutionary PPG SIGMAGLIDE\u00ae 2390 biocide-free silicone fouling release is the only\u00a0hull\u00a0coating\u00a0to\u00a0be\u00a0approved\u00a0by\u00a0RightShip’s rigorous product\u00a0review\u00a0process for\u00a0the\u00a0Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program. This approval validates its contribution towards a zero- harm maritime industry and underscores its positive sustainability impact.<\/p>\n “By connecting manufacturers with shipowners and educating charterers about new technologies,\u00a0the\u00a0RightShip\u00a0Zero\u00a0Harm\u00a0Innovation\u00a0Partners\u00a0Program\u00a0fosters a\u00a0system\u00a0that supports and recognizes those who invest in safety and sustainability on board vessels,” said Christopher Saunders<\/span>, Chief Maritime Officer at RightShip.<\/p>\n “We are proud to be part of this program, which recognizes the sustainably advantaged benefits and higher efficiency and durability of our biocide-free PPG Sigmaglide 2390 coating,” said Ariana Psomas<\/span>, PPG global segment director, new build and dry dock, Protective and\u00a0Marine\u00a0Coatings. “It\u00a0helps\u00a0vessels achieve\u00a0instant\u00a0power savings\u00a0of\u00a0up\u00a0to\u00a020 percent with a speed loss performance of less than one percent, contributing to a greenhouse gas emissions reduction of up to 35 percent* in comparison to traditional antifoulings.”<\/p>\n The performance benefits of PPG Sigmaglide 2390 stem from PPG HYDRORESET\u2122 technology. When immersed in water, this technology modifies the coating to create an almost friction-free, nonstick surface that marine organisms cannot recognize or adhere to. This results in industry-leading low-friction properties and outstanding fouling control that delivers up to 150 days of idle performance.<\/p>\n “For\u00a0shipowners,\u00a0achieving\u00a0significant\u00a0power\u00a0and\u00a0emission savings\u00a0will\u00a0require radical improvements in design and operating efficiency, so choosing the right hull coating is critically important,” Psomas said. “That’s why we’re seeing more and more shipping companies adopt low-friction silicone coatings.”<\/p>\n For\u00a0more\u00a0information\u00a0about RightShip’s\u00a0Zero\u00a0Harm\u00a0Innovation\u00a0Partners\u00a0Program, click\u00a0here<\/span><\/a>.
