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 />
