There were more than 80 attendees including members of the Ministry of Ports & Maritime Affairs, CLASS representatives (Bureau Veritas + ABS), Yards (ASRY + BASREC + NASS Marine), local ship owners & applicators.

Bureau Veritas, Middle East Regional Commercial and Business Development Director, Jamil Al-Ali, spoke at length on decarbonisation and various steps the industry is working on to reach the ambition of net zero by 2050. After this, the focus shifted to Jotun’s Clean Shipping Commitment, highlighting its products, technology and digital tools helping to maintain a clean hull. Finally, the day ended with an interactive product development session by R&D followed by a ‘Seeing is Believing’ experience where customers got to know about various types of fouling, different antifouling technologies and methods of testing and application.
