Antifouling & coatings

Thorough preparation and practical coating support to protect your vessel below and above the waterline.

About this service

Good coating performance starts with careful preparation.

Once your vessel is on the hardstand, our team can inspect the existing surface, discuss the intended coating system and prepare a formal scope. The amount of labour and material required depends on the vessel, coating condition and work discovered after haul-out.

What we can help with

  • Pressure cleaning with 4,500 PSI capability following haul-out
  • Dedicated wash-down bay, spray booths and undercover work areas
  • Removal of loose or failing coatings
  • Mobile scaffolding, access platforms and dustless sanding units
  • Antifouling application
  • Protective and finishing coatings
  • Inspection of related underwater areas while accessible

How it works

A clear process from first contact to handover.

01

Haul and clean

The hull is pressure cleaned so the existing coating and underwater condition can be assessed.

02

Inspect and scope

We identify the required preparation, coating products, labour and any areas needing extra attention.

03

Approve the work

A formal quote or work order is prepared for approval before additional labour and materials proceed.

04

Prepare and coat

The agreed preparation and coating system is completed before launch arrangements are confirmed.
