Be sure to join us for Marine Coatings Webinar Week
Biofouling. Tank coating management. Hull coating sustainability.
Beginning Tuesday 11 April, Riviera will be holding a series of webinars focused on biofouling, tank coating management and hull coatings for sustainable shipping. Each webinar is meticulously researched and speaks to a key industry challenge, headache or opportunity.
Our webinars are designed to strike the right balance between transmission of key information and interaction with the expert panel assembled. Those who register will also receive copies of webinar materials after the event.
Webinar discussions are focused, cover the advertised subjects, and deliver actionable insights.
Registration is free; please sign up below

Navigating new biofouling requirements: strategies for clean hulls and avoiding foulingDate: Tuesday 11th April - Time: 09:00-09:45 BST |
Fouling has become headline news now that New Zealand is taking a harder stance on its mandatory biofouling requirements, including turning away cruise ships from major tourist destinations. With other countries and regions following suit, the trend looks set to continue. In this webinar, experts consider the implications of stricter biofouling standards. The panel will reflect on options to maintain cleaner hulls and the coatings that are best able to withstand more frequent or aggressive hull cleaning without losing their protective properties or becoming damaged.
Join us as we discuss
- Impact of Australia/New Zealand’s hull fouling regs
- Robots and hull-cleaning technology
- ESG implications of hull-fouling failure
- Mitigating fouling failure
- Withstanding frequent or aggressive hull cleaning
Panellists:
Ashok Srinivasan, Manager, Maritime Safety & Security, BIMCO
Simon Doran, Managing Director, HullWiper Ltd
Advancing tank coatings management: technologies and vessel optimisationDate: Wednesday 12th April - Time: 09:00-09:45 BST |
Over the past year, the tank cleaning sector has seen significant disruption with the introduction of innovative technologies such as a two-coating tank system and the use of drones for interior space inspection. Our panel of experts will delve into the real impact of coatings on decarbonisation efforts and explore the potential for Artificial Intelligence (AI) to revolutionise coatings management including whether AI can be leveraged as a tool for charterers.
Join us as we discuss
- The latest tank coating science
- Are drones the solution to non-human entry of tanks?
- Tank coatings and decarbonisation: myth or reality?
- Tank coatings, cleaning, optimisation and CII – an impossible equation?
- Can Artificial Intelligence be a tool to educate charterers about coatings?
Panellists:
D. Terry Greenfield, Principal Consultant, Consulex
Ace Trinidad, Head of Operations, Lighthouse Maritime Services
Hull coatings for sustainable shipping, decarbonisation and noise reductionDate: Thursday 13th April - Time: 09:00-09:45 BST |
|
In this webinar, experts will offer insights into cutting drydock time by reducing coating layers; what the introduction of graphene-based marine coatings means for vessel operators; the challenges associated with coating inspection and data gathering; and how air lubrication and performance coatings can reduce drag and friction and contribute to overall decarbonisation efforts. We will also cover the drive to reduce vessel noise levels for the benefit of aquatic life.
Join us as we discuss
- Vessel hull coatings to reduce fuel consumption and emissions
- Coating inspection and data gathering
- Air lubrication or performance coating
- Vessel hull coatings to reduce noise
Panellists:
Dorothea Stübing, Head of Anti-Fouling, Fraunhofer IFAM
Mo AlGermozi, CEO & President, Graphite Innovation & Technologies
Harsh Kumar, Fleet Manager - Emissions & Efficiency, BW Epic Kosan Maritime Pte. Ltd
Jose Gonzalez Celis, Energy & Conservation Manager, ST Fleet Support, Stolt Tankers
