RightShip is pleased to welcome CMP Chugoku Marine Paints to the Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program , strengthening a shared commitment to safer, more sustainable maritime operations. With more than a century of experience in marine coatings, CMP Chugoku brings deep technical expertise and a strong focus on environmental responsibility to the program. This collaboration reflects a shared ambition to support the maritime industry’s transition toward improved safety outcomes, greater efficiency, and reduced environmental impact. Supporting the Industry’s Environmental Priorities CMP Chugoku’s participation in the Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program is driven by a clear purpose: to support maritime companies that are actively committed to environmental initiatives by providing coating technologies designed to deliver measurable operational benefits. As global attention on greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction continues to intensify, the role of hull performance in vessel efficiency has become increasingly important. Through this partnership, CMP Chugoku aims to contribute to industry-wide efforts focused on improving fuel efficiency and supporting long-term sustainability in shipping. Addressing Operational and Environmental Challenges Hull fouling remains a persistent challenge for vessels operating across diverse trading patterns and environmental conditions. Increased marine organism activity — driven in part by rising sea temperatures — can lead to higher hull resistance, increased fuel consumption, and greater emissions. CMP Chugoku’s marine coating technologies are designed to help address these challenges by supporting smoother hull surfaces, reducing hydrodynamic resistance, and contributing to improved vessel efficiency over time. By helping operators manage fouling more effectively, these solutions play a role in reducing fuel consumption, lowering GHG emissions, and supporting the protection of marine ecosystems.
