Cost-effective<br />

where it counts<br />

Maintenance work inside a vessel’s ballast tanks is time-<br />

consuming, manpower-intensive and costly, and can result in long<br />

periods of downtime. This rapidly eats into operating margins.<br />

It is therefore important to enable shipowners and operators to<br />

keep such ballast tank maintenance to a minimum.<br />

One of the most effective ways to do this is to include a low-<br />

maintenance ballast tank coating in the initial specifications,<br />

while the vessel is being built.<br />

To minimise all in-service maintenance, it is also important that<br />

any coating system applied to ballast tank surfaces is as durable<br />

as possible.<br />

The fibre-based HEMPADUR FIBRE <strong>4760</strong> epoxy coating provides<br />

owners and operators with the crucial reassurance that there will<br />

be no premature cracking or other breakdown of the protective<br />

coating inside the ballast tanks. A coating of this quality extends<br />

the service life of the vessel significantly, as well as ensuring<br />

lower life cycle costs and better profit margins.<br />

The new fibre-based HEMPADUR FIBRE <strong>4760</strong> ballast tank coating<br />

from Hempel provides a hidden advantage that makes a visible<br />

difference to operating economics.<br />
