Why regular Cathwell service is essential for ICCP & MGPS/ICAF maintenance
Extending marine asset life and maximising your investment
Antifouling anodes in strainers
Antifouling anodes in the mud box lids to prevent fouling.
Dual-action antifouling & anticorrosion anodes
Cu anodes in pair with Al or Fe anodes to prevent fouling.
MasterCath® remote access system
MasterCath® is designed for remote operation of ICCP and MGPS/ICAF antifouling.
Electrolytic antifouling explained
Low concentration of copper ions prevent marine growth.
Marine fouling in seawater inlets
Marine fouling is an unwanted development of biological organisms.
Design lifetime of sacrificial anodes
The amount of anodes corresponds with the surface to be protected.
Aluminium vs. zinc anodes
Which to use; aluminium or zinc anodes in salt water environments?
Al or Zn anodes in ballast and cargo tanks?
Aluminium anodes have both technical and economical advantages over zinc.
CathSense® ICCP in rough conditions
Operation in extreme conditions make considerably demands on the ICCP system.
What is corrosion?
Corrosion is a process of degradation of metals and non-metals
Dynamic copper dosing
Tuning the antifouling dosing according to the water flow saves cost and is more environmental friendly.
Avoiding corrosion in box cooler sea chest
Proper box cooler arrangement and protection reduce the risk of severe corrosion.
Why grounding the rudder?
Lack of electrical/metallic connection between the rudder and the hull may result in spark corrosion.
Reliable system follow-up
Well-structured system follow-up ensures effective maintenance of ICCP and MGPS/ICAF systems.
