Chemical/Oil Tanker Coating - Sigmashield Case Study

The Rhonestern, Weichelstern, Wolgastern and Themsestern are Chemical/Oil tankers built in 1999 and 2000 with a gross tonnage of 14,400 tons. The vessels operate in ice-going areas and needed a robust protective coating with excellent abrasion- and impact resistance. In addition, a tank coating system with optimal resistance for a wide range of cargoes was required.
