PPG said it has completed its 200th vessel dry docking using electrostatic application of marine fouling control coatings, a method it said can reduce overspray, material waste and carbon emissions versus traditional airless spraying. The milestone project involved applying the biocide-free PPG Sigmaglide 2390 coating to the Stena Britannica at the EDR Antwerp shipyard in Belgium. PPG said the process can also lower Scope 3 lifecycle emissions by reducing raw-material extraction, manufacturing and transport needs. Stena Line said it is targeting a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions from its vessels by 2030 versus a 2019 baseline.
