The persistent and destructive force of corrosion is well known. In a marine environment, these forces intensify and so ships, marinas, pipelines, bridges, onshore and offshore structures, desalination plants and other structures in marine environments are all highly susceptible to marine corrosion.
The Australasian Corrosion Association (ACA) and NACE International will be holding a joint industry leading, one day seminar titled, Managing Corrosion in a Maritime Environment on the 20th November 2018, at the Hilton in Cairns.
This one-day seminar will look at corrosion mitigation systems and management strategies for marine infrastructure, facilities and vessels and will include topics on protective coatings, cathodic protection, concrete, inspection and more.
The ACA holds a number of training courses throughout the year to inform and guide organisations and practitioners about ways to combat corrosion. It also runs a series of Technical events across the year across a range of industries looking at corrosion mitigation strategies and case studies. The Managing Corrosion in a Maritime Environment seminar is proudly supported as a joint ACA and NACE event. As a NACE strategic partner, the ACA offers various NACE International training options in the Australasian region.
This seminar will be of high interest to engineers, asset owners, maintenance managers, designers, managers, ship builders, contractors and anyone who has involvement with managing corrosion in marine environments.
Participants will hear about the latest advances and technologies to help manage maritime corrosion from industry experts representing a wide range of companies and associations – including AECOM, ASC Shipbuilding, ACA, Dulux Protective Coatings, Fibrecon QLD, Marine and Civil Maintenance, NACE International and V-Rod.
The technical program will be followed by a networking function with food, drinks and the chance to chat to likeminded individuals seeking to understand maritime corrosion and strategies to mitigate against it.
