豪华邮轮业主与运营商Silversea指定知名涂料供应商海虹老人为其新造的40,700GTSilver Muse号豪华邮轮提供创新型涂料解决方案。对于Silversea来说，其所用的涂料除了要求高品质、高性能外，更至关重要的是还需要节省燃料并大程度降低维护成本。

　　新造Silver Muse号豪华邮轮整体涂刷海虹老人创新型涂料

　　Silver Muse号豪华邮轮由意大利Fincantieri船厂制造，已于今年的4月3日交付。

　　令Silversea印象深刻的是，海虹老人深知邮轮行业竞争激烈，面临着不断增加的提高运营效率的压力，同时还要遵守严格环保法规。基于此，Silversea选择海虹老人先进的主动防御型防污漆Hempaguard X7为这艘全新邮轮提供保护。

　　Hempaguard X7将水凝胶-硅酮与有效的生物杀灭剂制成单涂层防污漆。利用这种技术，Hempaguard X7所释放的生物杀灭剂比传统防污漆减少95，环保性能更强。与其它高品质防污涂料相比，主动防御型防污漆Hempaguard X7使船舶在整个坞修期的燃料节省率高达6，大限度提高运营效率，并且对坞修期长达90个月的船舶同样有效，这有助于大限度地降低船舶维护成本。

　　海虹老人集团船舶与集装箱新造业务总监Kim Scheibel先生对此评价道：

　　Silver Muse号邮轮主要将在地中海地区较温暖的水域中航行，在这样的环境下，船体容易附着污物。邮轮有着的航行模式，有时低速航行，有时高速航行，以及定期停靠。只有有效的、可靠的船体涂料才能提供多方位的防护。实践证明，Hempaguard能够在长达120天的船舶闲置期间提供的防污保护，之后在所有航速下，均能够保持有效的防污性能。

　　Silversea##执行官Roberto Martinoli先生对此说道：

　　Silversea致力于实现高的运营效率，同时对海洋环境造成的影响小。Hempaguard防污漆不仅能够显著降低船舶的燃料消耗量，帮助我们控制成本，还将帮助我们大大地降低二氧化碳排放量。SilverMuse号邮轮被意大利船级社授予志愿绿色环保认证(RINA Green Plus)，这项认证以船舶的环保绩效指数为依据，考查船舶对环境造成的影响，包括碳排放。这让我们感到十分荣幸。

　　整个外船体的涂装仅用了4天的时间。Silver Muse号邮轮除了涂刷Hempaguard防污涂料之外，其干舷部与外部区域还涂刷了老人牌聚氨酯面漆55210(一种双组分、中光丙烯酸聚氨酯面漆);压载舱涂刷了老人牌环氧漆17634(一种符合IMO-PSPC规定的双组分通用环氧漆);饮水舱涂刷了老人牌环氧漆35560(一种双组分、无溶剂、厚浆型、聚酰胺加成固化环氧漆);灰水舱则涂刷了老人牌环氧漆85671(一种双组分、胺加成物固化酚醛环氧漆)。

　　Hempel coats innovative new luxury cruise ship Silver Muse from head to toe

　　Luxury cruise line owner and operator Silversea has appointed leading coatings supplier Hempel to deliver innovative coating solutions for its newbuild 40,700 GT cruise ship Silver Muse. Alongside top quality performance, it was vital for Silverseas that its coatings delivered fuel savings and minimised maintenance costs.

　　Silver Muse was built at the Fincantieri shipyard in Genoa Sestri Ponente and delivered on Monday 3 April.

　　Silversea was impressed with Hempels understanding of the highly competitive cruise industry and the increasing pressure to improve operational efficiency whilst complying with strict environmental regulations. This led the company to select Hempels advanced fouling defence coating Hempaguard X7 to protect the hull of its new vessel.

　　Hempaguard X7 uses an advanced combination of hydrogel-silicone and an efficient fouling preventing biocide in a single coat. This technology releases 95 per cent less biocide than traditional antifoulings delivering enhanced environmental performance. A significant six per cent fuel saving compared with best-in-class antifoulings over the entire docking interval maximises operational efficiency. The effectiveness of Hempaguard X7 over an extended docking interval of up to 90 months helps minimise maintenance costs.

　　Kim Scheibel, Group Director, Marine/Container, New Building, Hempel A/S commented:

　　Silver Muse will be trading mainly in the warm waters of the Mediterranean which tend to encourage fouling. Cruise ships operate unique trading patterns which involve a combination of slow and fast steaming as well as regular periods alongside. An effective hull coating must be trusted to deliver flexible protection. Hempaguard provides proven outstanding resistance to fouling during idle periods of up to 120 days and retains its effectiveness at all passage speeds.

　　Roberto Martinoli, CEO of Silversea said:

　　At Silversea we are fully committed to operating in the most efficient way and with minimal impact on the marine environment. Hempaguard not only promises to deliver impressive fuel savings which will help us contain our costs, but it also will incredibly help us to reduce CO2 emissions. We are honoured that Silver Muse was awarded the RINA GREEN PLUS voluntary notation, which is based on an environmental performance index that covers all aspects of the vessels impact on the environment, including carbon emissions.

　　Application of the entire coating system on the hull took just four days. Other products applied to the Silver Muse include Hempathane TC 55210 (a two-component glossy acrylic polyurethane coating) for the topsides and external areas, Hempadur Quattro 17634 (a two-component universal epoxy IMO PSPC compliant coating) for the ballast tanks, Hempadur 35560 (solvent- free two-component high-build polyamine adduct cured epoxy coating) for the potable water tanks and Hempadur 85671 (a two-component amine adduct cured phenolic epoxy (novolac) coating) for the grey water tanks.

　　Hempel continuously invests in RD to deliver more robust, flexible and trusted products to its customers.

　　Hempaguard X7 at a glance:

　　Six per cent fuel savings compared with best-in-class antifoulings over the entire docking interval

　　Excellent fouling resistance for idle periods of up to 120 days

　　95 per cent less biocide than traditional antifoulings

　　Vessels complying with a full Hempaguard X7 specification are offered a performance satisfaction guarantee.
