CONROE, Texas — The milestone of the 100th ship coated with Hempel’s HEMPAGUARD® was recently reached with the application of the crude oil tanker, EVEREST SPIRIT, operated by Teekay. Reaching the landmark achievement of the application of HEMPAGUARD on 100 full ship vessels in just eight short months shows how well HEMPAGUARD has been received.
The application of EVEREST SPIRIT took place in Dubai dry docks with a team including seven coating advisors and two project managers. EVEREST SPIRIT was full blasted on both vertical bottom and flat bottom, and applied with a complete new coating system including anticorrosive epoxy, tie-coat and HEMPAGUARD X7 top-coat.
HEMPAGUARD can be applied both on full-blasted surfaces, on old silicone and on old antifouling as long as the procedures designed for each situation are followed.
