Reducing emissions
Container line Hapag-Lloyd has shown that it reduces both emissions and operational costs through implementing Shipshave's
In Transit Cleaning of Hull (ITCH) solution, with the results documented and confirmed by class society DNV. To independently
verify the benefit of proactive fouling removal, Shipshave and Hapag-Lloyd commissioned DNV to analyse operational performance
data from two Hapag-Lloyd container ships equipped with the ITCH solution. In its report DNV confirmed that both ships achieved
a significant fuel saving and reduction in emissions based on improved energy efficiency.
