Passenger Vessels

Coating Solutions for Passenger & Ro-Ro Vessels

Passenger vessels and ro-ro’s are crucial to the movement of both people and vehicles in coastal and inland waterways.

Passenger ferries operating in warm, coastal waters face a significant fouling challenge which when uncontrolled can disrupt schedules and drive-up fuel costs. International® fouling control coatings are engineered to keep hulls clean even in the highest‑fouling environments, helping operators maintain reliable service while reducing fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions.

A strong visual standard is essential for vessels in passenger operation. Our polysiloxane and polyurethane finishes deliver long‑lasting aesthetics and durability, even on coastal routes with intense UV exposure.

Safety is especially critical on passenger ferries and ro‑ro vessels. Vehicles must be loaded and secured efficiently while passengers should be able to move around the vessel safely. Our non‑slip deck systems provide reliable traction across working, passenger and vehicle areas, supporting safe movement during operations and turnaround.
