key developments 2016

  • Revenue was down 7 percent, with increased volumes more than offset by adverse currency and price/mix effects
  • Two next generation fouling control technologies were launched – Intercept 8500 LPP and Intersleek 1000 – which are designed to deliver sustainable, enhanced vessel performance
  • We continue to launch more digital solutions, such as our Event Reporting System, to provide rapid inspection and reporting capabilities during maintenance at dry dockings
  • Protective Coatings continued to outgrow the market in the oil and gas (upstream and downstream) and power segments. We also defended our market position in mining
  • Significant sales were made to the huge Yamal LNG project inside Russia’s Arctic Circle. Our products will provide protection in some of the planet’s harshest conditions
