BW Epic Kosan (BWEK), a leader in LPG, petrochemicals and specialty gas transportation, has expanded its partnership with GIT Coatings to advance proactive hull management across its LPG fleet. Five LPG gas carriers have been coated to date using GIT’s biocide-free graphene-based hull coating technology, with one additional vessel currently in dry dock.
The partnership builds on strong operational results from BWEK’s adoption of GIT’s hard foul-release coating, combined with proactive cleaning using onboard robotic technology and dedicated advisory support. A case study presented at a recent conference tracked one LPG carrier through more than 12 months of commercial operation, documenting both out-of-dock performance gains and the ability to maintain a clean hull during service.
