An Estimate of the Market Potential for Corrosion Protection, Prevention, and Monitoring Systems in Ships

Abstract

There was a sudden increase in the number of ship accidents in the early 1990s. The primary reason for these accidents was a combination of local corrosion, fatigue cracking, and operational damage. This paper establishes the need for corrosion protection and monitoring systems for marine vessels. An attempt has been made to estimate the market potential for such systems in the near future.
