Corrosion can be a significant issue for ships, leading to expensive repairs and reduced lifespan. Here’s how you can prevent it:
Keep the hull clean to prevent marine growth, which can accelerate corrosion.
Apply anti-corrosion and anti-fouling coatings regularly to create a barrier against seawater and marine organisms.
Use sacrificial anodes or impressed current systems to protect the hull from electrochemical corrosion.
Schedule regular dry-docking to thoroughly clean, inspect, and repair the hull
By following these steps, you can significantly reduce the risk of corrosion and extend the life of your vessel.
