Marine coatings and cathodic protection providers supply and apply the specialist systems that protect a vessel's steel from corrosion beyond routine painting — high-build and specialist tank, ballast, and cargo-hold coating systems, and cathodic protection using sacrificial anodes or an impressed-current cathodic protection (ICCP) system on the hull and internal tanks. Application work includes surface preparation, blasting, and coating inspection to the specified dry-film thickness, and anode or ICCP system installation, monitoring, and renewal.
This sits a tier above the general paints, coatings, and anti-fouling suppliers, who provide standard primers, topcoats, anti-foulings, and general-purpose coatings applied as routine maintenance painting: this category covers high-build, multi-coat specialist tank, ballast, and cargo-hold lining systems applied to strict specifications, plus the cathodic protection those general coatings do not offer. Buyers commission this work at newbuilding, drydock, or when tank or hull corrosion surveys show protection is failing, comparing providers on coating system specification, application quality, and anode or ICCP monitoring offered. It sits within the Offshore, Specialist & Other category group on PortProcure.

How does this differ from ordering paint and anti-fouling?+
General paints and anti-foulings are products a crew applies as routine maintenance. This category is a specialist supply-and-apply service: high-build tank, ballast, and cargo-hold lining systems put on to a strict specification, plus cathodic protection that ordinary coatings don't provide. It is usually contracted with the applicator and coating inspection included, not bought off the shelf.
What is the difference between sacrificial anodes and an ICCP system?+
Sacrificial anodes are blocks of a more reactive metal bolted to the hull or inside tanks that corrode in place of the steel and are renewed once consumed. An impressed-current (ICCP) system instead drives a protective current from an external power supply through fixed anodes, and is monitored and adjusted rather than simply replaced. The choice affects both installation and ongoing upkeep.
When is specialist coating or cathodic-protection work carried out?+
It is normally done at newbuilding, in dry-dock, or when a tank or hull corrosion survey shows the protection is failing, because it needs surface preparation, blasting, and controlled conditions a crew can't reproduce at sea. Buyers plan it into the docking programme and choose providers on system specification and the coating inspection offered.
