ICCP Advantages
Although modern hull coatings provide protection against hull corrosion they are seldom the complete answer.
As a result, many operators choose to combine a coating system with the installation of cathodic protection equipment which can automatically compensate for any damage to the hull coating. This provides a more comprehensive and reliable safeguard against corrosion.
Optimum corrosion protection The system consistently monitors electrical potential around hull and automatically adjust the anode output.
Less maintenance ICCP anodes last for 20 years, as opposed to sacrificial anodes which have to be replaced at each drydocking.
Greater reliability The effectiveness of the system can easily checked by referring to the digital displays on the control panel.
Less weight and drag than traditional sacrificial cathodic protection systems.
Shaft earthing and monitoring can be incorporated into the system to avoid the risk of bearing corrosion.
