GIT's graphene coating to be tested on large ships

Graphite Innovation and Technologies (GIT) uses graphene as the base for its strong, slippery and non-toxic hull paint. The coating helps prevent marine fouling – when aquatic organisms such as barnacles stick to the hull – thus improving the flow of water against the vessel, making it more efficient. Now, the coating will be heavily tested on large vessels operated by Oceanex and Baffin Fisheries.
