The Problem
Due to the shape of the rudders, coupled with disturbed water flowing from the propeller, and the high manouevrability of the vessel, cavitation damage occurs leading to severe erosion corrosion pitting.
The Solution
Rebuilding of the pitted areas was carried out using Belzona 1311. Belzona 1341 was used as the first coat to provide optimum adhesion and corrosion resistance. The Belzona 2141 system was applied as the top coating to provide cavitation resistance.
