Problem: The vessel's hatch structures suffered severe corrosion due to prolonged exposure to seawater and the harsh marine environment. This deterioration significantly affected operational efficiency, complicating the assembly and disassembly processes and preventing the proper closure of the hatch covers. Urgent intervention was necessary to prevent further structural damage and restore functionality.

The vessel's hatch structures suffered severe corrosion due to prolonged exposure to seawater and the harsh marine environment.

The surface was manually prepared to achieve the required profile s hot work was not permitted.

The damaged area was then rebuilt using Belzona 1161, a surface-tolerant material, ensuring strong adhesion and a durable repair.

Finally, two coats of Belzona 1321 (Ceramic S-Metal) were applied, following the Belzona application procedure (IFU), to deliver superior protection and long-term performance.
