The cost of marine corrosion has increased year upon year. There are many different types of destructions that can occur to ships, structures and other equipment used in sea water service. Corrosion resistance in natural seawater is better than that in laboratory prepared salt water having the same total salinity. Corrosion affects all areas of industry and does not spare installations, industrial sites, machinery or any other production equipment. But it is in the open sea that it appears even more tenacious, and it is natural given the permanent presence of moisture and salt. Corrosion that is not treated in a timely manner can have fatal consequences for the ship itself, the crew and, where appropriate, passengers and cargo.
