Shipbuilding Growth &#038; Marine Surface Protection"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The UK shipbuilding industry is entering an exciting period of growth and investment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">From major naval programmes to commercial vessels, shipyard investment and an expanding maritime supply chain, there is significant activity taking place across the UK.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/new-shipbuilding-vision-launched\">Government&#8217;s National Shipbuilding Strateg<\/a>y set out a pipeline of more than 150 new naval and civil vessels over 30 years, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/at-least-six-new-air-defence-warships-to-defend-uk-waters-and-boost-shipbuilding?\">recent announcements<\/a> continue to demonstrate the scale of opportunity ahead for British shipbuilding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">But as more vessels move through UK shipyards, protecting them throughout the build process becomes increasingly important.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>A vessel doesn&#8217;t need to be at sea to be exposed to damage.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Surface Damage Can Happen Long Before Launch<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Shipbuilding is a complex process, with vessels and individual components passing through numerous stages of fabrication, assembly, fitting-out, storage and transportation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">During this time, finished and semi-finished surfaces can be exposed to:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li>Scratches and abrasion<\/li>\n<li>Dust and contamination<\/li>\n<li>Paint and overspray<\/li>\n<li>Accidental spills<\/li>\n<li>Damage from tools and equipment<\/li>\n<li>Weather exposure<\/li>\n<li>General shipyard traffic and handling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For high-value components and finished surfaces, damage during construction can result in unnecessary cleaning, repairs and rework before a vessel has even entered service.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">As shipbuilding activity increases, effective temporary surface protection should therefore be considered as part of the manufacturing process.<\/p>\n<h2>Protecting Vessels During the Build Process<\/h2>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><a href=\"https:\/\/protectapeel.com\/index.php\/industries\/marine-coatings\/\">Protectapeel

industry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Rather than cutting and fixing sheets or protective films around complex shapes, the coating can be applied directly to suitable surfaces, including shaped and curved areas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Once dry, BoatShield forms a tough protective barrier, helping to protect the underlying surface against damage throughout manufacturing, assembly, storage and other stages of the build process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">When the protection is no longer required, the coating can simply be peeled away to reveal the protected surface underneath.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-section-id=\"1gqpi9m\" data-start=\"209\" data-end=\"249\">Protection for Longer Marine Projects<\/h2>\n<p
