SUSTAINABLY CONSCIOUS<br />
In today’s world of sustainability awareness, reducing the impact<br />
on the environment is crucial for every yacht owner<br />
Let us introduce you to Hempel’s<br />
latest, innovative but above all,<br />
efficient antifouling solution for<br />
superyachts. Hempaguard X7 – the<br />
industry-leading silicone-based hull coating<br />
that provides maximum energy efficiency<br />
and the first antifouling product approved<br />
by the Water Revolution Foundation as a<br />
sustainable solution. Hempaguard X7 not<br />
only keeps yachts’ hulls clean, but also<br />
significantly reduces fuel consumption<br />
and CO2 emissions.<br />
Hempaguard X7 can be used for all vessels<br />
with no limitation on service speeds,<br />
including slow/ultraslow steaming vessels<br />
and FPSOs, and it is also recommended<br />
for propellers. It is suitable for vessels<br />
operating with long service intervals, up<br />
to 60 months together with superyachts<br />
that have long idle periods of up to 120<br />
days.<br />
As a reminder, Water Revolution<br />
Foundation has recognised and placed<br />
Hempaguard X7 among their first verified<br />
sustainable antifouling solutions for<br />
superyachts supporting Hempel’s efforts<br />
in facilitating a greener yachting industry.<br />
Hempel, a global painting company<br />
well known in the commercial marine<br />
sector, has set an ambitious goal to<br />
reduce the environmental impact of their<br />
manufacturing. They have been tirelessly<br />
working to reduce the environmental<br />
impact of the marine industry for decades.<br />
Hempaguard X7 and Hempasil X3+ bring<br />
real tangible benefits to the industry and<br />
are fundamentally different and unique<br />
compared to all currently available hull<br />
coatings. Using technology that forms a<br />
hydrogel at the surface in contact with<br />
water, it makes it incredibly difficult for<br />
marine organisms to attach to the hull<br />
and it works even when the vessel is in<br />
port or at anchor.<br />
Superyacht captains and management<br />
companies all want to reduce their<br />
maintenance workload but still maintain<br />
efficiency. Time saved on monthly cleaning<br />
regimes can help them stay out of drydock<br />
as long as possible.<br />

Hempaguard X7 the premium antifouling<br />
solution for superyachts was already<br />
recognised last year at the Monaco<br />
Yacht Show by receiving the prestigious<br />
Water Revolution Foundation Sustainability<br />
Certificate.<br />
“The joint effort Hempel as a company is<br />
making to ensure our product solutions<br />
are more efficient and effective, while<br />
respecting the environment, through the<br />
constant development of new technologies<br />
has finally been recognised by, not only<br />
the Water Revolution Foundation, but<br />
the yacht industry as well. Receiving the<br />
Water Revolution Foundation certificate<br />
is further proof Hempel’s new solutions<br />
have been recognised,” says Tino Rikkert,<br />
Hempel Yacht Global Director.<br />
Thomas Olsen, Yacht Marketing Director, in<br />
a recent interview to the Water Revolution<br />
Foundation explained why submitting<br />
product data to a third party evaluation<br />
is vital: “It’s extremely important to get<br />
a third party to evaluate our coating<br />
systems. Sustainability is here to stay<br />
and Hempel has a strategy that we want<br />
to be the sustainability leaders in this<br />
industry, so this is an important move<br />
for us. This is a product that can make a<br />
significant difference in driving towards<br />
sustainability within the superyacht<br />
sector.”<br />
