Costs before and after PRORECO III 65 71 75 working Clara Foss. Unlike the paint coatings on the market today, the polyurethane PRORECO III protects against abrasion and impact, as well as corrosion. The

PRC coating system virtually eliminates deck maintenance costs, even in the most demand- ing conditions. The decks of the Clara Foss have already seen 5 years of constant service without any repairs, and the coating has maintained original integrity and service- ability. Because of this exceptional performance, the four newest Foss vessels, Stacey, Sandra, Barbara, and Justine, have all had

PRORECO III applied to weather decks. PRC PRORECO I has also been utilized for their interior spaces. Whether you are operating towboats, crew and supply boats, offshore drilling platforms, or the largest of commercial vessels, PRC products can help you reduce maintenance costs.
