The future of hull protection: durable, non-toxic coatings from Subsea Industries
Subsea Industries’ coating systems have earned a strong reputation throughout the maritime industry because they combine long-term protection, environmental responsibility, and operational efficiency in a

Why applying Ecoshield at newbuild is the smartest coating investment a shipowner can make
The difference between the rudder and the area not protected by our coatings is clearly visible after six years. Two vessels recently entered drydock

Long-term protection for critical ship components with Ecoshield
Modern vessels operate in increasingly demanding conditions. Higher efficiency requirements, tighter environmental regulations and extended drydock intervals place significant strain on key ship components. Among

Why Subsea Industries’ coatings are the best solution for protecting underwater parts of ships
In the demanding environment of marine operations, corrosion, erosion, cavitation, biofouling and other causes of damage relentlessly attack the underwater parts of ships. Traditional coatings

Ecoshield ideally suited for thruster tunnel protection
Besides offering rudder protection, Ecoshield is also suitable for all underwater ship gear which needs special protection from corrosion. The extra strength coating protects these
