AKZONOBEL’S INTERLINE 9001 CARGO TANK COATING WINS ICIS INNOVATION AWARDS
AkzoNobel has scooped two prestigious honours at the recent ICIS Innovation Awards for the Interline 9001 ultra-performance cargo tank coating supplied through its International brand.
As well as being awarded with the overall Innovation Award, Interline 9001 also received the Best Product Innovation Award from ICIS, the trusted information provider for the global chemical and energy industries.
Interline 9001 cargo tank coating has won two awards for AkzoNobel
The awards recognize the impact the new coating has had on the chemical tanker industry, specifically how it tackles the issue of absorption from aggressive cargoes, such as methanol, acetone and ethylene glycol. These issues can often result in cargo cycling restrictions, increased risk of subsequent contamination and the need for repeated resource and time-intensive washing procedures.

80 YEAR OLD BOAT BUILDING HERITAGE CELEBRATED IN GREECE
A traditional boat of the type that disappeared from the Greek seas 80 years ago, is now preparing for her maiden voyage. The vessel, named Medon- Pleioni, has been constructed at the boat building yard Neososikos in Glyfa, Halkida.
The project is the initiative of the “Proteas” Non-profit Organisation for the Preservation of Traditional Shipbuilding & Heritage, and of the sailing enthusiast and primary consultant from the municipality of Vari, Voula and Vouliagmeni (southeast coast of Attica), Dimosthenis Dogas.
Research, design and construction of the heritage vessel was by Nikolaos Vlavianos. He said, “It is for us a truly great and historic responsibility. Bearing this in mind, we began the construction of a boat with sakoleva sails from a ??sailboat plan from 1835 with traditional methods and practices to the slightest detail. It is the first of its kind to be built in about 80 years.”
