Biocide-free silicone antifouling paint tops European study
Chalmers-led research found biocide-free silicone antifouling paint performed best against hull fouling in Swedish, Danish and French coastal waters.
McLachlan Marine, based in North-East Scotland, have taken delivery of the latest addition to their growing fleet –a new 11m O-CLASS, which was built by Glasgow-based The Ultimate Boat Company (UBC).
The O-CLASS is a high-performance offshore craft that has been specifically designed and engineered as a ‘heavy-lift’ commercial vessel. Its intelligent ergonomics and shock mitigation technology are intended to provide a safer working environment for professional crew at sea for extended periods.
All UBC powerboats benefit from a revolutionary and patented hull technology that introduces compression or hydraulic lift resulting in enhanced load carrying, manoeuvrability, performance and stability.
Upon taking delivery of the new craft, Managing Director Ruari McLachlan said: ‘We have been really impressed by UBC’s attention to detail during the build of this boat. The handling and stability that this unique hull design gives will have a direct positive impact on the capabilities and performance that our crews can deliver to clients.’
