As an eco-friendly drag reduction bottom paint, it was only a matter of time before HullSpeed® technology branched out to the commercial marine markets. The insertion of such technology meant the potential for fleet owners and operators to save hundreds of thousands by improving speed and fuel economy while also utilizing a ‘green’ product. Over the past several years within the commercial marine markets, HullSpeed® coatings have had numerous highly successful applications, some of which saw speed improvements up to 9% and fuel savings up to 7%.
