Grit blasting and painting are critical components of vessel maintenance, essential for preserving hull integrity, preventing corrosion, and ensuring compliance with maritime standards. Aldis Ship Repair, we offer end-to-end surface treatment and protective coating services using advanced technology and expert personnel to deliver durable, high-performance results in demanding marine environments.
Our grit blasting services remove rust, scale, old coatings, and surface contaminants using high-speed abrasive techniques. This ensures proper surface preparation and enhances coating adhesion. We carry out blasting operations on hulls, decks, cargo holds, ballast tanks, and internal compartments in accordance with ISO 8501 and SSPC (Society for Protective Coatings) standards.
We use a variety of abrasive media such as garnet, steel grit, copper slag, and aluminum oxide, tailored to the surface and application type. For environmentally sensitive areas or maintenance while afloat, we provide water blasting and vacuum blasting solutions to minimize dust and debris. Technicians conduct blast profile checks and salt contamination tests to ensure optimal coating conditions.
Following surface preparation, our painting team applies marine-grade coatings including anti-corrosive primers, antifouling systems, tank linings, and fire-retardant paints. We partner with major paint manufacturers and follow strict application protocols to ensure long-lasting performance under operational and environmental stress.
We also offer specialized tank coatings for fuel, ballast, potable water, and chemical storage, using systems designed for corrosion resistance, durability, and hygiene. All work is performed under rigorous safety measures, particularly in confined spaces, with proper ventilation and gas monitoring throughout the process.
Whether in drydock, afloat, or at our land-based facilities, ALDIS Ship Repair ensures timely execution without compromising quality. Our certified inspectors conduct DFT measurements, adhesion testing, and provide documentation required for class approvals. With a focus on safety, quality, and environmental responsibility, ALDIS is your reliable partner for grit blasting and protective coating services.
