David J. Keehan, president of APC in the United States, said that the cooperation between Shell, Shandong Shipping, Jingjiang New Era and APC originated from Shell's "Shell Solar Plan", through which Shell integrated and distributed diversified chemical products to the industry, and enhanced the synergy efficiency of the industrial chain through joint shipping, shipbuilding and new material manufacturers. Offshore oil tank coating is the product of APC participating in this project, and APC will also provide thermal spraying and maintenance services for oil tankers. It will be a team effort to make these ships ready next year.
Keehan said that MarineLINE coating has excellent long-term performance, wide loading range and convenient cleaning. It is suitable for storage tank protection of various corrosive liquefied products, with stable performance and easy long-term cleaning. Shandong Shipping Company specially recommended competitive coatings for cargo holds of shipping lines to the technical management team of Shell Company, which contributed to this cooperation.
It is understood that MarineLINE is based on a unique polymer formula, which provides an almost impermeable surface to deal with corrosive substances. Today, this protective layer is being used to protect hundreds of chemical and refined oil tankers carrying corrosive chemicals, chlorinated paraffin, edible oil and thousands of other chemicals.
