Kotug Canada uses non-toxic coatings to reduce underwater noise

Barco

Canada. Kotug Canada recently applied revolutionary non-toxic noise reduction coatings on the hull of one of its vessels, the K. J. Gardner.

Kotug Canada has worked extensively with Graphite Innovation and Technologies (GIT), an industry leader focused on manufacturing sustainable graphene-based marine coatings to meet these goals.

Kotug Canada used GIT's XGIT-URN coating to help reduce underwater radiated noise emitted by the ship's hull and vibrations that disturb marine life.

Aquatic life, such as mammals and the endangered southern resident orca, reside within the employment area of Kotug Canada vessels. These mammals rely on underwater noise to communicate, navigate and find food.

The K. J. Gardner is the first of three ships using GIT applications in support of Kotug Canada's mission to reduce environmental impact, specifically related to reducing noise that potentially disturbs aquatic life in the Salish Sea and adjacent waters.

Kotug Canada Director Steve Widmeyer said: "This is a huge step forward in strengthening our focus on being a sustainable company. We have set a high standard for meeting these goals by using the XGIT-URN GIT coating, which significantly impacts the fulfillment of those goals."

More applied to K.J. Gardner were the XGIT-FUEL and XGIT-PROP coatings of GIT.

According to the company, these coatings will enhance the reduced impact with the added benefits of greatly improving fuel efficiency and decarbonization.

It is expected that over the next five years, this vessel will significantly reduce CO2 emissions.

GIT Executive Director Mo AlGermozi stated, "Our team is excited to work with KOTUG Canada to meet their sustainability goals. Our XGIT-URN, along with our other two marine coatings, will support their desire to maintain healthy and vibrant oceans while meeting the needs of their customers."

"Our shared goal of reducing environmental impact on the world's oceans is of paramount importance. GIT is on a mission to contribute to the movement of green shipping activities in the world's oceans," added AlGermozi.
