Gulf Navigation Holding PJSC (Gulfnav) has signed a deal to recoat the cargo tanks of its two chemical tankers with Advanced Polymer Coatings’ MarineLINE, reports Riviera.
Advanced Polymer Coatings
Following a cargo tank recoating project by Advanced Polymer Coatings (APC) undertaken in 2023 for Gulfnav on 45,920-dwt Gulf Fanatir and 45,967-dwt Gulf Huwaylat, APC’s MarineLINE has been chosen for the next project.
That project will see APC apply the MarineLINE tank coating system on 45,951-dwt Gulf Deffi and 45,907-dwt Gulf Jalmuda, both built in 2009.
The work will be carried out at IMC Shipyard in Zhoushan, China with APC providing specialist guidance led by its China-based engineering team.
The tankers carry a wide range of chemicals and the recoating work on all four vessels involves the traditional zinc and epoxy coating being replaced by MarineLINE.
In January 2024, Gulfnav set up a joint venture with Scorpio Services Holding, an associate company of the New York Stock Exchange-listed tanker company Scorpio Tanker Inc., under the name Black Marlin Ship Management & Operation (Black Marlin).
