Cavity protection for an approximately 100-year-old freighter
Task:
Long-term protection for the heavily corroded ship’s floor in the former ballast water tank.
Special challenge:
Due to the year of construction the corrosion is quite advanced. The corrosion protection has to work on heavily corroded steel, too.
Solution:
To enable our corrosion protection grease to creep better and further we added our solvent-free penetration oil TimeMAX Speed Lotion.
Advantage:
Adding the oil highly capable of creep the corrosion protection grease becomes even more effective. This way it penetrates even deeper into the corrosion.
“Hello Hello, it’s really urgent, we desperately need something to fight corrosion!”
TimeMAX as corrosion “fire fighters”! We love this kind of jobs. Today it is about the “Lydios”, a freighter more than 100 years old. The 55 metres long inland navigation vessel was built in Belgium in 1914. During its long and varied history the Lydios carried mostly bulk goods like grain and fertilizer. The ship spent most of its unusually long life in the Netherlands. Now the Lydios belongs to the Klovert family in Hamburg Harburg. Picture above, left to right: Marcel, Tom and Heike.
The Kloverts just brought the ship to Hamburg from the Netherlands. Now the freighter lies in the Harburger Kulturhafen and is being restored. The couple has big plans for the old vessel: Soon, maybe even this year, the Lydios is to become a “B & B” hotel: The first swimming “Bed and Breakfast” hotel in Hamburg.
