Cargo Hold Coatings | Durable Protection Against Abrasion & Corrosion
Why Cargo Hold Coatings Matter
Cargo holds face constant impact, abrasion, and corrosion from bulk materials like coal, iron ore, and grain. Without proper protection, coatings can crack, leading to corrosion, higher maintenance costs, and costly downtime.
High-performance cargo hold coatings help preserve structural integrity, reduce maintenance, and keep vessels operating efficiently—even under the toughest conditions.
Cargo Hold Coatings for Corrosion & Abrasion Resistance
Cargo hold coatings must withstand mechanical damage, abrasion, and chemical exposure while ensuring easy maintenance and extended service life.
- Intershield® 803Plus – Our most durable cargo hold coating, designed for extreme impact and abrasion resistance. Ideal for vessels carrying iron ore, coal, and other aggressive cargoes.
- Intershield® 300 – A trusted universal primer, used on 22,000+ vessels worldwide. Provides superior corrosive protection and can be applied in low temperatures.
Both coatings reduce maintenance needs and help lower long-term operational costs, keeping vessels in peak condition.
Key Benefits of Advanced Cargo Hold Coatings
- Long-Lasting Durability – Protects against impact, abrasion, and wear.
- Cost Savings – Reduces maintenance cycles and long-term operational costs.
- Corrosion Protection – Shields cargo holds from water damage and harsh conditions.
- Reliable Performance – Minimises downtime, keeping vessels operational.
Choosing the Right Cargo Hold Coating
