Hull Coating · SepcoTech

Hull fouling has been solved. Most fleets haven't been told yet.

The maritime industry has been managing fouling with a technology that degrades, depletes and expires — not because it works best, but because the alternative hadn't been proven at scale.

SEA-SPEED V 10 X ULTRA — hard-film Silane-Siloxane, zero biocides, 10-year warranted system. Lloyd's Register certified. In service on 400+ naval and commercial vessels worldwide.

Biocides — no TBT, no copper, no zinc. Zero regulatory exposure.
The Shift

Three things the industry assumes are fixed. They're not.

Sea-Speed doesn't improve conventional antifouling — it replaces the logic behind it.

The assumption

"Biocides are a necessary part of hull protection."

The reality

Sea-Speed releases fouling through surface chemistry alone. No TBT. No copper. No zinc. Zero.

The assumption

"Hull performance degrades between drydocks — that's unavoidable."

The reality

Unlimited underwater grooming restores the surface — every time, without film loss or toxic release.

The assumption

"Recoating every 3–5 years is a fixed cost of operating a vessel."

The reality

One application. Ten-year warranty. One set of costs for an entire decade.

The Technology

A different class of coating.

SEA-SPEED V 10 X ULTRA is the only hard-film Silane-Siloxane foul release coating available today. Not an improvement on antifouling — a fundamentally different answer to hull fouling.

  • <20µ average Rz — nano-smooth, glass-hard finish that holds its smoothness in service
  • Non-depleting, non-ablative — coating is never consumed; thickness preserved over 10 years
  • 1,000+ underwater cleans — without film loss or toxic release; performance maintained
  • Barnacles wipe off by hand — after 18 weeks static immersion; ultra-low fouling adhesion
  • Zero biocides — no TBT, copper or zinc; compliant in all trading areas worldwide
  • 95% solids by volume — minimal VOC; safe for applicators and yard workers
  • Pencil hardness 6H — extremely hard yet flexible; no cracking or delamination

Financial Performance

The numbers behind the decision.

Hull coating is a capital allocation decision. The 10-year model covers coating cost, fuel savings, reduced drydock frequency and CO₂ reduction.

What operators say

Proof from the people who run the vessels.

We are seeing 2–3% decrease in consumption at 21 knots and a 5–7% improvement at 15–17 knots. This equates to a 17% improvement in our Carbon Intensity Index between 2021 and 2022.
Joey HalversonDirector of Ship Management, TOTE Services LLC — December 2022
Sea-Speed V 10 X ULTRA exceeds environmental regulations globally for all types of vessels. The technology is highly advanced from both a technical and functional viewpoint. It has a phenomenal future in the maritime industry.
