Since the CII ratings were introduced, Sonihull has helped vessels to reduce their carbon footprint and make huge cost savings.

What is CII?
CII (Carbon Intensity Indicator) is a rating to be shown on vessels over 5000 DWT. The ratings range from A (Good) to E (bad). This is done on a calendar basis.

If your vessel receives an E rating, you must submit an improvement plan for how you will attain an A-C grade in the next 3 years. If you had a D rating, you must also submit an improvement plan.

How does Sonihull help?
While there are no official lists of energy saving devices, Sonihull’s technology can help keep propellers, hulls etc clean which reduces drag and fuel consumption.

1. Fuel Savings: Vessels equipped with Sonihull experience impressive fuel savings, contributing directly to a more favourable CII rating.

2. Low Total Cost of Ownership: Sonihull offers a cost-effective solution with a fast return on investment, making it an attractive choice for operators seeking long-term sustainability.

3. Efficient Path to CII & EEXI Compliance: Sonihull stands out as a fast and efficient means to achieving compliance with CII and EEXI regulations, aligning seamlessly with the industry’s evolving environmental standards.

This National Marine Week, themed Secrets of Our Seabeds, underscores the urgent need to protect our marine ecosystems. At Sonihull, we are committed to environmental stewardship through our biocide-free ultrasonic antifouling technology. By using the power of ultrasound, our systems prevent biofouling on vessels without releasing harmful microplastics or chemicals, helping to preserve the delicate balance of our waterways.

Our seabeds are critical ecosystems, far beyond mere sand and rock. They support diverse marine life and play an essential role in global ecological health. However, these environments face increasing threats from pollution and unsustainable practices.

During National Marine Week, we call on individuals and organisations to take meaningful action to safeguard our oceans.

At Sonihull we remain dedicated to advancing sustainable marine solutions, and we invite you to collaborate with us in protecting our seabeds for future generations.

July has been a busy month for us. Following the recent acquisition of Sonihull by Alfa Laval, there have been changes within our senior leadership team.

Firstly, Darren Rowlands is stepping down as CEO of Sonihull, and we wish him the best for the future. Secondly, Riyami Mohamed has been promoted to Managing Director. For the past couple of years, Riyami has been an integral part of our evolution, contributing to growth and innovation. Congratulations, Riyami!

We also shone the spotlight on Benoj Abraham, who has been working for us for almost a year now. Benoj specialises in Technical Sales Marine in the GCC region and has been instrumental in driving our success throughout the UAE.

We have also taken part in Plastic Free July, where we discussed how microplastics are damaging our delicate waterways and oceans, and how we can all do our bit to protect our planet.

As we head into August, we are looking forward to celebrating National Marine Week, World Water Week, and National Beach Day. Make sure you follow us on our socials to see what we get up to.

We regularly get asked questions about Sonihull’s antifouling technology and how it works. Here are four of our most frequently asked questions:

❓ What Is Antifouling?
Antifouling is the process of preventing algae, weeds, barnacles, mussels and other organisms (collectively known as biofouling) from accumulating where they are not wanted. Biofouling occurs naturally on surfaces in contact with fresh or sea water, including ship hulls, propellers, and cooling systems.

❓ Why is Antifouling Important?
Biofouling costs the marine sector around $100 billion a year in increased fuel and maintenance costs. Marine biofouling can increase drag by up to 60%.

❓ How Does Sonihull Work?
Ultrasonic transducers are bonded to the dry side of the equipment or surface being protected. These create ultrasonic pulses which increase and decrease the pressure on the surface, preventing biofouling from sticking to the surfaces.

❓ How Much Power Does Sonihull’s System Consume?
Depending on the systems and number of transducers used, the power usage is between 75W and 500W.

Our Mission is Simple:

At Sonihull, our mission is clear: deliver cutting-edge antifouling technology that protects marine ecosystems while helping vessel owners reduce costs and emissions.

Marine growth like algae and barnacles on a ship’s hull increases drag, leading to higher fuel consumption, elevated carbon emissions, and costly maintenance.

Our solution? A non-toxic ultrasonic system that uses ultrasound technology to prevent single-cell organisms from attaching to hulls, propellers, and submerged surfaces—keeping vessels cleaner and greener.

As part of Plastic Free July, we are going to answer some of the most common questions about microplastics in the ocean.

❓ What are microplastics?

Microplastics are small fragments of plastics that are less than 5mm - these might be plastics manufactured at this size or pieces that break off a larger whole.

❓ How do microplastics get into the ocean?

Microplastics can enter the ocean via wastewater, drainage systems, and littering. When larger plastics such as fishing gear, plastic bottles, and packaging enter the ocean, they don’t disappear; they break down into smaller pieces.

❓ Why are microplastics an issue?

These microplastics can be mistaken for food by fish and marine life. Microplastics can also absorb toxins from the water, making them even more dangerous if consumed.

❓ What is Sonihull doing differently?

Sonihull uses ultrasonic antifouling, a method of distributing tiny, microscopic bubbles on surfaces which prevents barnacles and other contaminants from sticking to a vessel. Our technology reduces waste and enables longer cycles between cleaning, making it the perfect choice for sea vessels.
