Your Ships will run LEANER
Cost savings will allow you to run on a LEANEROperating
Budget:
Fuel Savings savings of 3 -10%
Reduces Down Time- due to the longevity,
dry-dock time needed for recoating can besignificantly
reduced
Maintenance Savings- labor intensive scraping is eliminated
Coating Longevity Minimum 5 years versus 30 months average for
currentcopper ablative-based coatings
Easy to Apply and Repair- trained staff can apply it with
airless spray equipment
