Hull Repair & Coating for Cargo Barge

Project Challenges

• Multiple corroded hull plates

• Marine growth and rust layers

• Tight timeline due to upcoming cargo schedule

Scope of Work

• Ultrasonic thickness measurement

• Damaged plate cutting & replacement

• Grit blasting & surface preparation

• Primer + anti-corrosion + anti-fouling coating

• Sea trial inspection

Process Executed

We performed grit blasting to SA 2.5 standard, replaced corroded plates with grade-approved steel, and applied a triple-layer coating system.

Results / Outcome

• Structural strength restored

• Reduced hull drag

• Improved vessel speed

• Lower maintenance frequency expected for next 18–24 months
