The Problem of
Corrosion
Corrosion takes many forms in the marine environment. It
can be seen as pitting on hull plates; in the disintegration Cathelco ICCP systems for
of weld seams; around bow thrusters and on the surfaces
of rudders and other vital components. vessels of every type
A well designed ICCP system can eliminate these Cathelco C-Shield impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP)
