Naval

Technical solutions for highly aggressive marine environments. The naval sector operates under extreme conditions that accelerate the deterioration of vessels, structures, and metallic components. Continuous exposure to salinity, humidity, wet-dry cycles, and aggressive coastal atmospheres directly impacts mechanical integrity, operational safety, and maintenance costs.

At Aplika Control Corrosión, we provide comprehensive solutions for the protection, maintenance, and service life extension of naval assets such as ships, tugboats, and support vessels, designed under applied engineering criteria and international maritime sector regulations.

Applicable Solutions for the Naval Industry

• Anticorrosive coatings for marine and coastal environments (ISO 12944): Systems designed to protect surfaces exposed to severe coastal environments, port areas, and maritime operations.
• Protection in critical zones: splash zone, immersion, and below the waterline: Splash and intermittent wetting zones represent one of the most severe corrosion scenarios.
• Passive Fire Protection – PFP (UL 1709 / ISO 22899-1): Solutions aimed at preserving structural integrity in the event of thermal events in engine rooms and technical areas.
• Repair and reinforcement with composite materials (ASME PCC-2 / ISO 24817): Technologies for structural rehabilitation without the need for cutting, welding, or extensive downtime.
• Technical consultancy and specialized QA/QC: Damage assessment services, technical diagnosis, and field inspection under international standards.

Specific Challenges and Risks of the Naval Sector

• Accelerated marine corrosion: Generated by high salinity, humidity, and oxygen.
• Intense wet-dry cycles: Critical in splash zones, gunwales, and decks.
• Loss of structural thickness: Affects hulls, superstructures, and critical components.
• Onboard fire risks: Need for passive protection in technical and operational areas.
• Unplanned failures: Uncontrolled deterioration impacts availability and operating costs.

Benefits of Our Solutions

• Vessel service life extension: Protection against severe marine environments.
• OPEX reduction: Lower frequency of corrective maintenance.
• CAPEX/OPEX optimization: Durable solutions that prevent premature replacements.
• Regulatory compliance: Alignment with ISO, AMPP, and naval standards.
• Increased operational reliability: Protected assets for continuous and safe operations.
