Azra Tech Delivers Efficiency and CO₂ Reduction on AFRAMAX Tanker ZENOVIA LADY (IMO 9389277) - Verified performance results support Western Shipping’s decarbonization strategy

Lugano, April 2026 – Azra Tech is pleased to announce the verified performance and environmental results achieved on the Aframax m/t ZENOVIA LADY, operated by Western Shipping, following the application of Azra Tech’s coating technology.

The adoption of Azra Tech’s innovative coating solutions was supported in the Greek market by Green Navis, the company’s exclusive representative in Greece.

The vessel was coated with Azra Tech’s biocide-free, durable ultra-low-friction coating system, designed to minimize hydrodynamic resistance while preserving long-term hull integrity.

Post-application analysis after 18 months highlighted a 14% decrease in propulsion power, demonstrating a substantially improved speed–power curve. These efficiency gains translated into a total CO₂ emissions reduction of 2,360 tons, reinforcing the environmental value of the high performative technology.

The results achieved on ZENOVIA LADY underline Azra Tech’s role in enabling measurable operational savings while actively supporting emissions reduction and regulatory compliance objectives within Western Shipping’s fleet.

Azra Tech commented: “Delivering both efficiency gains and CO₂ reductions is central to our mission. The results from ZENOVIA LADY confirm how ultra-low-friction coatings can play a key role in practical fleet decarbonization.”
