Newbuilding

Keeps a newbuilding looking and operating like new

More than 100 years of ship coating expertise

From bulkers, tankers, container ships and LGN or LPG carriers to ferries, cruise ships, Ro-Ros and off-shore supply vessels – when building a new vessel, everything needs to be completed on time and on budget. Vessel owners and operators demand long-term, superior protection from abrasion, corrosion and impact, as well as advanced solutions to maximise fuel efficiency. At the same time, everything has to comply with IMO PSPC rules and environmental requirements.
