Hull Steel Renewal, Blasting, and Coating: Protecting Your Investment

Saltwater, microbiological corrosion and cargo-handling abrasion constantly attack hull integrity. Ship’s Solutions applies a holistic renew-blast-coat philosophy, combining precision steelwork, controlled blasting and next-generation coatings to extend hull life and slash fuel bills.

We start with UT gauging to map wastage, then CNC-cut replacement plates; bevels are prepared to 37.5° for optimal weld penetration. Grit blasting achieves SA 2.5 cleanliness while dust recyclers cut abrasive use by 35 % and support ISO-14001 targets.

Silyl-acrylate antifouling, graphene-reinforced epoxy and low-VOC primers are chosen to balance cost, film-thickness and service profile. Airless spray pumps with twin filters hold DFT variation under 7 %. Adhesion pull-off tests routinely exceed 10 MPa.

ROI is measurable: a 250 m tanker finished our renew-blast-coat cycle with a 25 % lower HRC, saving USD 2 million in fuel over five years and avoiding 9 400 t of CO₂ emissions.

Treating hull maintenance as strategic investment—not a grudging expense—delivers compounded returns in efficiency, compliance and asset value.
