When the Cornelia Marie docked in Seattle a few months later to receive new engines and updates to its living areas, the vessel’s crew recoated the main deck and lower house. They applied three coats of SeaGuard 6000 epoxy by brush and roller at 5-7 mils DFT per coat on the main deck. In addi- tion, a crew from Northlake Shipyard spray-applied a coat of

SeaGuard 6000 at 5-7 mils DFT in the engine room followed by a topcoat of Hi-Solids Polyurethane at 3-5 mils DFT.

Combating Corrosion from ‘Haul to Hull’

Following the maintenance and restoration work per- formed on the Cornelia Marie, Sherwin-Williams coatings are now protecting the vessel from its haul to its hull. The protective coatings applications will help keep corrosion at bay and extend maintenance intervals, so the
