GIT announces deal with Eastern Pacific Shipping

Nova Scotia's Graphite Innovation and Technologies (GIT), provider of the world’s most sustainable marine coatings, and Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS), a global leader in the shipping industry, are pleased to announce a strategic partnership deal.

With a history spanning 60 years, Eastern Pacific manages a versatile fleet of 200 vessels and over 20 million deadweight-tonnes across three core segments of containership, dry bulk, and tanker vessels.

 EPS’ commitment to green technology is a perfect match with GIT’s mission of providing peak vessel efficiency through new and sustainable solutions. This deal provides a strategic alignment with a focus on sustainability and decarbonisation moving towards protection of the world’s oceans through greener shipping. 

The adoption of cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions play a key role at EPS. That’s why teaming up with GIT was an easy decision. By supporting fuel efficiency and requiring less paint, GIT’s coatings will be instrumental in our decarbonisation and sustainability efforts. We look forward to working with them as we expand and rejuvenate our global fleet.
