UNDERWATER HULL

Effective anticorrosives, efficient antifoulings and fouling release coatings are essential for underwater hull protection to help keep running costs down. The need for long periods of exposure before recoating and also increasing environmental legislation are key issues for owners as well as fuel savings.

A premium coating system installed at the new-building stage will minimize deterioration and provide the foundation for a well-planned maintenance scheme through the following dry dockings. The SIGMA COATINGS® range of products are proven to provide an excellent defense against such severe conditions, with the added benefit that premium coatings could result in significant fuel savings due to the improved hull smoothness.
