Although modern hull coatings offer some protection against corrosion, they seldom offer a complete active solution. For this reason, over 10,000 operators have chosen to protect their vessels with a purpose designed impressed current cathodic protection system.
Using an arrangement of hull mounted anodes and reference cells connected to a control panel, the system produces powerful external current flow to suppress the electro-chemical activity on the wet surface of the hull. The ICCP system eliminates the formation of corrosion cells on the metal's surface thereby arresting corrosion.
The essential feature of ICCP systems is that they constantly monitor the electrical potential at the seawater-hull interface. The system is self-adjusting ensuring the proper amount of current is supplied to the hull anodes. This is the primary reason why ICCP systems are chosen over sacrificial anodes.

Cathelco is the world's largest manufacturer of seawater pipework anti-fouling systems. The systems provides complete protection against blockages caused by barnacles and mussels which results in engines overheating, increased fuel consumption and costly pipework and heat exchanger repairs.
The system is comprised of anode pairs installed into sea chests or sea inlet strainers. The anodes receive a small amount of current from the adjustable control panel. Ions are released into the flowing seawater which prevent the settlement of marine organisms while coating the inside of the pipework with a barrier against corrosion.
The simple automatic operation and ease of installation has made it the primary choice for installation at new build or retrofit. Cathelco have over 14,000 installations protecting all types of vessels worldwide.
