General Cargo Vessels

Coating Solutions for General Cargo Vessels

General cargo vessels operating in coastal environments are subject to a wide range of operational and environmental challenges. They must be able to deliver a variety of cargoes safely and according to schedule.

Warm, coastal waters create a high fouling risk which can disrupt operations and increase fuel costs. International® fouling control coatings are engineered to keep hulls clean even in severe fouling conditions, supporting fuel efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions.

Coastal operations also expose general cargo vessels to frequent impact and abrasion damage, accelerating corrosion and impacting visual appearance. Our range of anti-corrosive primers and cosmetic finishes deliver long-term asset protection with minimised requirement for maintenance.
