Marine Coatings Market- Trends, Outlook and Key playersPosted by anagha on November 21st, 2017 Marine coatings are used in marine environments for protection against corrosion, fouling, and UV radiation. The protection of the ship both above and below the waterline is crucial. Above the waterline, marine coatings help prevent damage due to UV radiation. Moreover, application of marine coatings below the waterline help prevent fouling and corrosion. An increase in life of marine vessels and equipment is observed on application of marine coatings. There is a tendency of corrosion due to exposure to hostile marine environments. The consequences of corrosion are larger than the price incurred in preventing it, hence marine coatings have become a vital part of the shipping and shipbuilding industries. In addition, fuel consumption is reduced if the ship is in optimal shape. The major challenges are environmental regulations against leachable coatings. High VOC coats on leaching have an adverse effect on marine ecosystems. Furthermore, oil price instability has led to raw material price fluctuations which will slow down market growth in the forecast period.

On basis of Application
Anti-fouling agents are applied on the marine vessels and equipment to prevent bio-fouling, which is the growth of algae, micro-organisms, plants, and animals. Increase in drag is observed due to bio-fouling which results in soaring fuel costs. The application of foul release agents makes the surface of material smooth, low friction and slippery, not allowing fouling organisms to attach to the surface. These are eco-friendly substitutes for anti-fouling agents. The largest end user is the marine industry. As it operates in the midst of a highly corrosive saline environment. The need for frequent dry docking is reduced by coating and directly translates into reduced operating costs as dry docking is an expensive process. The oil & gas industry employs marine coatings on subsea equipment that are subjected to hostile pressure and temperature conditions in deep-water and ultra-deep-water zones. Marine Coatings Market Outlook
The requirement of special purpose ships in the oil and gas industry is growing. As production moves to deep-water and ultra-deep-water, specially designed drill ships and exploratory ships are required. In 2010, Maersk has commissioned the Viking, a US$ 650 million drillship to drill in depths of excess of 3000m water depth. Further developments in this segment is expected in the forecast period.
