Info

Traditional coating (left) completely gone and Ecospeed (right) still in good condition on the Kort nozzles of the dredger. a hard coating that can withstand the constant impact of debris, ice or the grinding of sand. This has been proven on numerous occasions by ships sailing with Ecospeed in harsh winter conditions for over seven years. During the recent docking it was clear that the coating had given the vessel a much better protection. This once again confirms Ecospeed’s long lasting qualities. The Ecospeed coating is still protecting the vessel after two years in operation. 4
Ecospeed rudder applications prevent cavitation damage Last month several rudders were coated with Ecospeed in China. The rudder of a 294-meter container vessel was treated in Shangai. Around the same time a 125-meter LPG tanker had its rudder coated in Dalian. The owners decided to use Ecospeed after cavitation damage had appeared on the rudders of their vessels. Ecospeed will prevent similar damage from occurring again. The coating provides the rudder (and/or the entire underwater hull) with an impenetrable protective layer. At the same time its toughness and flexibility enables absorption of the forces that are produced by cavitation. This prevents the damage normally caused by this phenomenon. Without proper protection against cavitation and the resulting erosion and corrosion damage, the financial consequences can be severe. Application of second layer of Ecospeed on LPG tanker. After steel surface treatment, an Ecospeed application is very simple and fast. Ecospeed is applied in only two identical layers. No repaint will be needed during future drydockings. 5
