Project Data

Project Details

Grand Bahama Shipyard has placed an order with China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) for the construction of two new floating docks. Upon completion, these floating docks will be dedicated to the ship maintenance operations of Carnival Cruise Line.

To ensure the smooth operation during ship maintenance, a large number of long gas and water pipelines need to be laid along the inner and outer walls of the floating docks. As the floating docks are required to submerge for ship docking and rise to lift ships during operation, the pipelines are exposed to an extremely harsh corrosive environment.

In such areas, the continuous alternating interaction of air, temperature, and chloride-containing water creates an ‘ideal condition’ that easily leads to severe rusting, resulting in an extremely high risk of pipeline corrosion.

The Steelcoat 100/400^™ System is the optimal solution to address this issue. Firstly, the system has a proven track record of success in the field of corrosion prevention, with its performance stability fully verified through many practical applications.

Secondly, with the addition of Denso^™ Glass Outerwrap UV (for exposed pipelines only situated above the water line) and Denso^™ Glass Outerwrap HD UV (for submerged/splash zone pipelines alternating between above and below the water line), the system is afforded excellent impact resistance, capable of withstanding various potential collisions and impacts during operation, thus ensuring long-term reliable performance.
