Marine coatings systems are applied to ships and structures in both the sea and fresh water environments. They serve the dual purpose of protecting against corrosion and maintaining visual aesthetics. The world merchant fleet is comprised mostly of bulk carriers and tankers but also includes container ships, cargo ships and passenger/cruise ships among others.
Marine paints and coatings are applied to commercial and military ships for both salt and fresh water, fixed and floating marine structures such as offshore oil rigs, and recreational boats and yachts. This includes passenger ships, freighters, tankers, container ships, fishing boats and ferries, as well as oil rigs, inland waterway ships, barges and tow boats.
