Marine

Marine environments expose assets to salt, moisture, and heavy fouling. Cleaning and preparation methods must address corrosion and marine growth while protecting substrates.

Common methods

• Dry ice blasting: Cleans engine rooms, machinery, and electrical equipment without water or grit.

• Soda blasting: Removes coatings, soot, and deposits from hulls, superstructures, and interior surfaces with reduced substrate damage.

• Sponge blasting: Provides controlled blasting for ship hulls, decks, and ballast tanks with lower dust and rebound.

• UHP water jetting: Strips heavy marine coatings and growth from hulls and steelwork, providing strong surface preparation.

• Bristle blasting: Removes rust and spot repairs coatings on steel decks, handrails, and structural members.

• Laser cleaning (select areas): Targets rust, scale, or coatings on specific high-value marine components.

Typical applications

• Preparing ship hulls and offshore structures for coating systems.

• Cleaning engine rooms, mechanical spaces, and deck equipment.

• Corrosion removal from ladders, rails, and structural steel.

• Maintenance of marine pipelines, tanks, and ballast spaces.

• Fire and smoke cleanup on marine assets.
