Description
Nearly every component or structural element on a ship requires specific coatings. Coatings specialist apprentices are trained to properly apply a variety of marine coating systems. Coatings protect the steel and other surfaces from rust and corrosion, protect the underwater hull from marine life attachment and enhance the general appearance of the ship. Coating specialist apprentices prepare the surfaces, cover areas that do not require paint, sandblast surfaces, apply the proper coating, and ensure suitable drying and curing conditions.
