A MESSAGE TO SHIPOWNERS

Maintenance of ballast tanks costs more each year. You know that proven soft coatings like FLUID FILM® protect against corrosion. Will the possible requirement for annual inspections of tanks or even the complete removal of the coating prior to the inspection, leave you no alternative but to incur the higher cost of epoxy or equivalent with the additional expense of surface preparation, clean-up, volative solvents and multiple coats?

You should have a choice. It's your money.
