Antifouling Darwin

Antifouling in Darwin

Territory waters are hard on hulls. North Coast Shiplift lifts your vessel, gets it washed down and provides the hardstand for preparation and antifouling coatings.

Antifouling is usually the right time to inspect sterngear, anodes and fittings while the hull is accessible.

Wash, Prepare, Coat, Relaunch

Hulls are washed down soon after lift so growth is removed while it is still soft and the substrate can be assessed properly before any coating goes on.

Preparation is what makes a coating last. Sanding, feathering, spot blasting and priming are matched to the existing system and the condition of the hull.
