Cleaning solution
Stolt Tankers is expanding implementation of Shipshave's In-Transit Cleaning of Hulls (ITCH) solution across its fleet after seeing significant fuel savings of more than 10 per cent from initial trials of the innovative technology to boost energy efficiency, reduce its carbon footprint and cut emission costs. As the world's largest operator of chemical tankers, Stolt Tankers is adopting a range of technologies to enhance the sustainability of its fleet towards the goal of reducing the carbon intensity of its ship operations by 50 per cent by 2030, compared with a 2008 baseline, as part of wider efforts to curb marine pollution.
