Fishing Vessels

Coating Solutions for Fishing Vessels

Fishing vessels operating in coastal waters are subject to some of the most demanding conditions at sea, driven both by the intensity of their daily operations and the harsh, highly variable environments in which they operate.

Fishing vessels operate for long periods of time at very slow speeds, leading to a severe fouling challenge, especially in warm, coastal waters. This in turn impacts vessel fuel efficiency, speed and acceleration. International® fouling control coatings keep hulls clean in even the highest fouling conditions, supporting fuel efficiency and reducing CO₂ emissions.

Crew safety is paramount on fishing vessels. Trawling requires constant deck activity, and combined with vessel motion in rough seas, this creates a hazardous working environment. Our non‑slip deck systems provide reliable traction across all working areas, supporting safe movement during operations and turnaround.
