Case Study:
Ballast Tank Protection Solution.
Ballast Tank Protection Solution.
Comprehensive Corrosion Protection for Marine Environments.
The ballast tanks of this vessel were suffering from advanced corrosion due to constant exposure to harsh marine conditions, threatening their structural integrity and long-term performance. To ensure lasting durability, a complete ballast tank protection system was implemented to stop further deterioration and extend service life.
What is Resimac SA’s Ballast Tank Protection Solution?
Our specialised application process ensures every surface, accessible or confined, is protected against corrosion and chemical attack.
Surface Preparation:
Abrasive blasting performed to ISO 8501/4 Standard SA2.5, achieving a 75-micron surface profile for optimal adhesion.
Restricted areas prepared mechanically using hand grinders to ISO 8501/4 ST3 standards.
Coating Application:
A precision stripe coat of Resimac 501 CRSG applied to edges, welds, and hard-to-reach areas for enhanced protection.
Two full coats of 501 CRSG applied uniformly across all tank surfaces via brush and roller at a nominal 250 microns per coat.
Result: a robust, uniform barrier designed to withstand marine exposure and halt corrosion.

Cost and lifecycle advantages of Resimac SA Marine Solutions.
Choosing repair and resurfacing with engineered materials is often cheaper than replacement and faster than fabrication. Key financial benefits include:
- Lower immediate capital expenditure compared with new components.
- Reduced downtime and lost revenue through faster turnarounds.
- Fewer repeat repairs because the chosen materials resist the original failure mechanisms (abrasion, corrosion, cavitation).
- Extended service life for repaired parts, delaying major capital outlay.
For fleet operators and maintenance planners these advantages compound across an asset base, delivering measurable savings and improved availability.
Resimac SA’s product range is designed by engineers who understand both materials science and the realities of field application. The emphasis is on workable systems that fit real shipboard constraints — cold curing, solvent-free options, and materials tolerant of the rougher conditions teams face when a quick and reliable repair is needed.
Working together: collaboration with operators and ship yards.
If you manage marine assets and want repairs that last, start with the failure analysis: identify the mechanism (abrasion, cavitation, chemical attack, mechanical impact), condition the surface as recommended, and select the repair system engineered for that use-case. Resimac SA provides technical advice, product selection and application support to ensure repairs are done right first time.
Resimac SA’s marine solutions are practical, proven and designed for the realities of shipboard life. Whether you’re restoring pumps and filters, resurfacing heat exchangers, repairing propulsion components or lining tanks, choosing engineered repair systems reduces downtime, protects assets and keeps operations moving. For marine engineers and fleet owners who value reliability and sensible lifecycle economics, Resimac SA is the trusted partner that helps you keep vessels at sea and performing.
