"BP has been regarded as an environmentally responsible company for many years and, since the early 90s, we have been using TBT-free antifoulings.

Our experiences on the use of tin-free products over these years has been varied, having been involved with some of the leading paint manufacturers.
Jotun's SeaQuantum hydrolysing tin-free antifouling has provided good selfpolishing and protection properties, approaching those qualities previously found with a good TBT-based antifouling.

SeaQuantum was applied to our 'P' Class VLCCs at the newbuilding stage 36 months ago and the in-service results have been so good to date that we would intend to maintain the hulls with the same coating system at the vessels' next drydock."
