ICCP Ships

Two types of impressed current anodes are mainly used on ships: attached and recessed anodes, which are fixed flush with the ships side. Attached anodes provide one major advantage in regards to low grounding resistance for the protection current. The disadvantage is that the body is exposed on the ships side and could easily be mechanically damaged.

Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) is a well-proven method for combating corrosion. By applying a controlled electrical current, ICCP effectively transforms the entire hull surface into a cathodic surface, actively preventing the corrosion process.

One of the most prominent advantages of ICCP, compared to traditional sacrificial anodes, is the system's ability to dynamically adjust the current output to provide continuous and tailored protection under changing conditions. This is particularly beneficial for vessels navigating through diverse global waters.

Implementing ICCP not only ensures long-term and effective protection against corrosion but also significantly contributes to extending the vessel's lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.

By choosing ICCP for corrosion protection, shipping companies and shipbuilders invest in advanced technology that not only safeguards their assets but also promotes a more sustainable maritime industry in the long term.

The anodes are a critical component in the ICCP systems, delivering controlled current to protect a ship’s hull from corrosion in an efficient and long-lasting manner.

The ICCP system ensures optimal corrosion protection for ships by providing a consistent and adjustable current, extending the lifespan of hull structures while reducing maintenance costs.

The measurement equipment is essential for monitoring the performance of ICCP systems, ensuring accurate current output and optimal protection of the ship's hull against corrosion.

We are one of Scandinavia's leading suppliers of cathodic protection since 1989. Our headquarters are located in Ramlösa, Helsingborg, in southern Sweden.
