How Cathelco’s ICCP Systems Work
Our corrosion protection technology operates automatically, ensuring continuous hull protection with minimal maintenance.
- Reference electrodes monitor electrical potential and send real-time data to the control panel.
- Smart control panels analyze readings and adjust anode output to maintain optimal protection.
- C-Max anodes are high-output and diver-changeable, allowing for easy underwater replacement.
- Rudder and shaft protection ensures these critical components remain corrosion-free.
Protect the Largest Surface of Your Ship – The Hull
Corrosion weakens the hull, leading to increased drag, fuel inefficiency, and costly repairs. Unchecked corrosion puts your vessel at risk:
Increased Fuel Consumption
Structural Weakness and Reduced Vessel Lifespan
Higher Maintenance Costs
Risk of Hull Penetration
