SECTORS

Commercial Marine

Sonihull is an environmentally safe way to protect your investment against bio-fouling wherever your vessel is exposed to raw seawater. On the outside, the build-up of algae, weeds and barnacles on your hull and propellers can reduce your speed and increase your fuel bill by 30%. On the inside, marine organisms can infest your raw seawater handling equipment, restrict cooling water systems and cause major engine or equipment damage.

Oil & Gas

Remote offshore installations require robust, reliable equipment. Sonihull is the only ultrasonic anti-fouling system in the world that is ATEX-Certified for use in Hazardous Zones 0, 1 and 2. That means Sonihull is trusted as a fit-and-forget anti-fouling measure in all types of oil and gas installations that have raw seawater cooling systems. From protecting in-water rig structures to ensuring that LNG vaporisers keep cool.

Windfarm

Sonihull ultrasonic anti-fouling systems are changing the way these offshore monoliths are being built and operated. By controlling the amount of marine growth that attaches, hydrodynamic loadings are reduced and structural steel requirements can be reduced by up to 10%. Operator access is safer and removing over 50 tonnes of lifetime marine fouling from a structure significantly reduces the craning and de-commissioning costs.

Workboats

One of the most diverse and hard-working maritime sectors, workboats have to fulfill all kinds of duties from fast pilot transfer to critical docking manoeuvres. Downtime is not an option. Sonihull provides effective bio-fouling without the poisonous environmental legacy of biocides, metal compounds or microplastics. The systems are easy to install and can reduce capital and lifetime MRO costs in box coolers by up to 95% compared to similar impressed-current anti-fouling systems.

Navy, Coastguard, Search and Rescue

In the high-performance defence, patrol and rescue sectors, reducing downtime and increasing MTBO (mean time between overhauls) is crucial. Even relatively light fouling in waterjets can drop top speed by 20% and create a corresponding spike in fuel consumption and mechanical wear. Anti-fouling, therefore, becomes a key operational cost, something that Sonihull helps coastguards, navies and SAR operations minimise.

Superyachts

Sonihull is trusted by some of the world's most discerning marine customers. Most superyachts are operated as commercial entities and are under similar time and performance pressures as other floating assets. In order to reduce downtime and maximize charter income, superyacht owners and operators have always been keen to introduce new technologies like Sonihull to keep their vessels out of drydock for as long as possible.

Leisure Boating

Sonihull is 100% environmentally safe anti-fouling, there's no gelcoat etching or annual scraping and re-painting. With Sonihull, there is no leaching of poisonous biocides, no shedding of microplastics from ablative coatings and the low-powered ultrasound frequencies used are completely harmless to marine mammals and fish.

Every year in Europe, over 2,900 tonnes of microplastic is estimated to migrate into the sea from ablative anti-fouling coatings on leisure boats. In Norway, the Green Marina project, in conjunction with the World Wildlife Fund, has proven that only three items are needed to maintain a clean leisure boat hull. A hard coating on new hulls, a Sonihull ultrasonic anti-fouling system and regular high-speed use (or a drive-through boat scrubber).

Fisheries

The large containment systems used in open-water fisheries can suffer from the build-up of marine fouling. Sonihull is being used in the sector to keep nets and cages clean, greatly reducing operator maintenance and movement requirements. The system is environmentally safe and harmless to fish and marine mammals.
