Seastores

The topsides, external decks, superstructure and cargo holds are an important advertisement for any operator and may be judged as an indicator of the general standard of vessel maintenance and operation. To keep your fleet looking good, here’s how we can help:

Easy to use products

Our extensive range of durable, easy to apply, and competitively priced primers, anticorrosives and finishes, designed to keep vessel maintenance at sea, simple and cost effective.

Ordering is easy

Whether you order by phone, email or online transaction through the maritime e-procurement portal ShipServ, our customer service team take pride in delivering a consistent service, globally.

Global network

With an unrivalled global supply network of 165 stock points and over 500 delivery points in key ports worldwide, you can rely on us to deliver your seastores products, at the right time and in the right place.

Forecasting your seastores

Through our specialist account teams, we can work with you to analyse your purchasing history to aid stock management, forecast your annual seastores requirements and advise the most economic delivery locations and lead times to suit your vessel trading routes, reducing the frequency of pick-ups.

Colour matching

Need a custom colour? With our advanced colour system, Chromascan, we can match to in-house colours and deliver on colour requests close to the point of application. With over 200 Chromascan centres worldwide, we aim to dispatch customised colours within 48 hours.*

OBM training programmes

Tailored training courses to promote best practice in surface preparation, application and paint types can be delivered for crew, superintendents and non-technical staff in customers’ local offices, International Paint local offices or on board.

Ongoing support through vessel life

During drydock condition surveys we’ll produce an ‘Interplan’ document, detailing the current coating condition, advise the best course of action for any necessary remedial works and highlight the most suitable products. Interplan covers all major areas of a ship and is produced by our highly skilled NACE or FROSIO trained Technical Service Representative.
