Slick, Fast and Clean.

This week’s featured archive MarEx print article is taken from our December edition, which also features Trico CEO Joseph Compofelice on the cover.

Calico Coatings and its founder, Tracy Trotter, aim to bring the very same technology that race car teams depend on every day to a market that might not be ready for the good news. But as the IMO, EPA and U.S. Coast Guard hail the adoption of new emissions standards for large diesel ships, the maritime industry may not necessarily have to be dragged kicking and screaming into Calico’s way of thinking. The reasons why may surprise you.
