Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP)

Cathelco® ICCP systems are designed for various materials steel or aluminium hulls protecting all vessels from yachts, naval vessels, fishing vessels and workboats.

Using an arrangement of hull-mounted anodes and reference cells connected to one or more control panels, the system produces a more powerful external current to suppress the natural electro-chemical activity on the wet surface of the hull. This eliminates the formation of aggressive corrosion cells on the plate surfaces, avoiding problems that can exist where dissimilar metals are either combined through welding or brought into proximity by other components such as propellers.
