What are the key maintenance challenges in the marine and offshore industry?
Marine environments are among the most aggressive on the planet. Constant exposure to saltwater, humidity, mechanical impact, and biofouling places severe stress on vessels, offshore structures, port infrastructure, and marine equipment.
Common Problems in Marine Applications:
- Corrosion in splash zones, ballast tanks, sea chests, and submerged areas
- Abrasion and impact damage on hulls, decks, fenders, and loading equipment
- Mechanical wear on pumps, valves, impellers, and rotating machinery
- Chemical attack in fuel handling zones, bilges, and spill containment areas
- Biofouling and surface degradation affecting vessel performance and fuel efficiency
Without robust protection and fast repair strategies, these challenges result in asset deterioration, increased maintenance costs, safety risks, and unplanned downtime.
