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.
