Performance + Cost Analytics

“In a constantly changing environment, commercial vessel owners and operators rely upon hard performance, environmental and commercial data to make informed decisions. To do what you’ve always done doesn’t cut it anymore”.

HullWell’s refined software delivers key information that facilitates accurate decision-making involving underwater surface performance and protection.

Performance + Cost Analytics

Performance

  • For commercial vessels in design | build phases or for vessels in service, the durability, speed, protective qualities, and long-term efficacy of underwater surface coatings have a direct impact on voyage durations, fuel and energy consumption, and emissions.

  • HullWell provides performance data and comparative performance data to aid decision-making on this component of underwater surface coating selection.

Cost Analytics

  • Preparation and application costs, product costs, damage vulnerability and repair costs, operational efficiency, regular maintenance costs, slipway, and dry-dock costs, and out-of-service losses are quantified over 30-, 60- and 120-month periods.

  • These costs are then compared with alternative underwater coating systems to allow financial component decision-making.

Environmental Responsibility + Sustainability

  • Visible and demonstrably effective environmentally responsible and sustainable practices are the new normal for commercial enterprise…they speak of core values, distinguish one entity from another, typically enhance commercial performance, and they make our planet better.

  • Every product is solvent-free; no harmful VOC discharges; no harmful exposure to people and sea life.

  • Coppercoat Multi-Season Antifoul Coating is manufactured using 100% recycled copper.

  • Coppercoat Multi-Season Antifoul Coating does not discharge biocides, toxins, silicon, or plastics into the marine environment.

  • Surface efficiency reduces fuel | energy consumption and reduces emissions.

  • Minimal maintenance requirements reduce emissions associated with the frequent maintenance required of traditional underwater surface coatings.

  • The HullWell system produces no end-of-life waste.

This comparative cost analysis is for a new 16.50m high performance GRP Yacht.
