Vroon Offshore chooses Micanti Antifouling
Vroon has chosen Micanti to supply antifouling film for its anchor-handling tug-supply (AHTS) vessel, VOS Triton, the company said in its press release.
Micanti Antifouling is recognised for its good performance, even when vessels are moored or sailing at low speed. The fact that the product is 100% environmentally friendly is an additional incentive for Vroon Offshore Services (VOS).
Micanti has recently increased its focus on the Singapore market, introducing its revolutionary antifouling film to the Asian offshore world. Micanti is convinced that many opportunities lie ahead for this film, which prevents marine growth in a physical manner and is not dependent on vessel movement. Optimum performance is also guaranteed during a period of extended vessel inactivity. Being selected as a Vroon supplier, gives Micanti the opportunity to clearly assess the actual fuel savings for offshore vessels, as Vroon closely monitors fuel consumption.
