PAINTING

Corrosion is the worst enemy of the shipping world and the failure of a preservation system will result in tremendous steelwork repair costs, if left unattended. Frequently, the life expectancy of a coating system is not reached and shipping managers need to consider the application of a new preservative. To undertake blasting and coating of internal or topside structures whilst in dock or laid-up, mean many days of lost revenue.

Matatec’s answer is to provide both shot or ultra high water blasting equipment together with painting machines, plus skilled labour, and systematically blast and re-paint corroded areas whilst the vessels is trading. Hence, saving lengthy down time in dock.

To assist the ship owner Matatec can offer a full “Turnkey Project” in looking towards a full survey, recommendation of system/coating best suitable. Fixed price costing, including supply of all materials, consumables, plant and labour complete with full quality assurance and inspection acceptance package, alternatively, a labour only arrangement in which the ships management supply all the plant and equipment themselves. Flexibility in the design of the project is entirely up to the ship owner.
