Hempel A/S has entered into a three-year global hull coatings agreement with A.P. Moller – Maersk, covering a significant portion of Maersk's dry docking program from 2026 to 2028. Maersk, a globally recognized leader in operational excellence and decarbonisation, expressed pride in partnering with Hempel, known for its ambitious goals.
Malgorzata Kolton, Executive Vice President and Head of Marine at Hempel, highlighted the company's commitment to trust, reliable service, and long-term results. Hempel believes that hull coatings are crucial for vessel efficiency, as they impact fuel consumption, emissions, and operating costs. This agreement goes beyond hull coatings, with Maersk and Hempel planning to strengthen their collaboration through joint initiatives focused on dry docking excellence and enhancing in-service performance.
Kristian Brauner, Head of Fleet Operations at Maersk, emphasized the importance of hull performance in fuel efficiency and emission reduction ambitions. Since its introduction in 2013, Hempel's advanced hull coatings, notably the industry-leading Hempaguard silicone range, have been applied over 6,000 times, enabling marine customers to avoid approximately 43.4 million tonnes of CO₂ compared to conventional coatings.
The agreement underscores the continued demand for Hempel's premium hull-performance solutions and validates the proven performance of Hempaguard silicone technology.
