Among the distinguished speakers, Petter Korslund, Regulatory Affairs Manager at Jotun Performance Coatings, will present “Biofouling Management through Digital Solutions,” highlighting one technology and solution that can help the industry and authorities to manage biofouling and eventually make the shipping industry cleaner.
“Ensuring that the industry is aware of and understands the solutions and technologies is important. That way regulators and stakeholders can set the scene for the industry based on experience-based knowledge and proven effects. As a leader within this topic, we are obliged to put focus on the challenges and drive the industry forward,” said Petter Korslund.
“This forum provides a unique platform for stakeholders to discuss pressing challenges and share innovative solutions in biofouling management.”
