Application Situation

High speed passenger ferry propulsion units.

Belzona Facts

The application is an annual job that is performed while the ferry is in dry dock. Although most of the Belzona 1341 is intact, by applying an extra coat of Belzona 1341 over the existing Belzona coating the jet tubes are kept in full working service rather than waiting until a major failure.
