Humphree Partners with Propspeed to Enhance Stabiliser Protection

Propspeed’s Foulfree system approved for use on Humphree’s advanced stabilisation technology

Humphree® and Propspeed® have entered into a strategic partnership centred on a shared commitment to performance and protection, with Humphree endorsing the use of Propspeed’s Foulfree™ Multi-Surface System across its range of fins and interceptors.

The collaboration aims to safeguard stabilisation performance below the waterline while maintaining efficiency, reliability and overall system integrity. By supporting the application of Propspeed’s biocide-free foul-release coating on Humphree’s advanced stabilisation technology, the partnership is designed to help ensure consistent operational performance and long-term protection of critical underwater components in demanding marine environments.

By preventing marine growth accumulation on fins and interceptors, Foulfree Multi-Surface helps ensure Humphree’s stabilization systems can perform at their ultimate in every sea state – operating as designed, with consistent handling and improved fuel efficiency throughout the season, while reducing the need for in-water cleaning and maintenance.

“Foulfree Multi-Surface provides a solution that supports efficiency without compromising handling, and we’re confident our customers will appreciate the benefits it brings to their stabilization equipment,” said Johan Cavefors, Director Sales Marine Professional, Humphree.

“We’re proud of the continued evolution of our foul-release coatings,” said Marcus Hamilton, CEO, Propspeed. “Working alongside leading manufacturers like Humphree reinforces our mission to protect performance below the waterline. Foulfree Multi-Surface is designed to shield all Humphree fins and interceptor product lines without compromise, providing efficient operation throughout the season while preserving OEM engineering aesthetics, through a clear, non-invasive coating system.”
