Impressed Current System for Ships

INTRODUCTION

The specially designed impressed current systems for ships were developed originally to protect the underwater external hulls of large tankers and bulk carriers which could not satisfied adequately by sacrificial anode systems. The systems are so successful, that they are now commonly used on smaller vessels such as passenger ships and fast container vessels.

TYPICAL FEATURE

• Longer intervals between drydockings reducing operating costs

• Minimum time and cost for maintenance

• Fully automatic operating giving optimum hull protection

• Better long-term hull protection than sacrificial anode system

• Minimum frictional resistance on the hull

• Constant hull potential monitoring for continuous protection

• Smaller and lighter than any other anode
