Ecoshield Digital Brochure - 7

The rudder of the Pleiades vessel Xanthos. Lft. Before Ecoshield application January 2014. Ctr. Original Ecoshield
application. Rt. After 7 years sailing, no repainting or repair.
" We were experiencing heavy cavitation of the rudder blades as well as cavitation damage on the propeller nozzle on all our
vessels. With the Xanthos, after high pressure washing, the rudder blade and the propeller nozzle were in immaculate condition,
7 years after Ecoshield was applied. Fantastic. Having a rudder and nozzle in good condition, from a typical drydock of
10 days, you save 1 day. Roughly speaking 10-15% time saved from the total drydock. The market right now is $15-20,000 per
day so you can save $15-20,000 off the drydock just for one off-hire day. "
Mr. Dimitris Gyftopoulos, Technical Superintendent Engineer, Pleiades Shipping Agents S.A.
" The decision to apply the coating on the first vessel was not an easy one, but the results obtained made the choice to extend
the coating to other vessels obvious. "
Mr. Miltos Synefias, Technical Director Pleiades Shipping Agents S.A.
" The rudder blade and the propeller nozzle were in immaculate condition,
7 years after Ecoshield was applied - fantastic! "
" None of the rudders have sustained any further cavitation
damage. They have been touched up where the paint was
chipped or scraped, but the cavitation damage to the rudders
ended with the first application of Ecoshield. In general everybody
is looking to be in drydock as short as possible and to
get all the work done as quickly as possible. Additional hot
work on the rudder inevitably results in some collisions with
other jobs. I would say for me it is quite clear. Had we not
applied Ecoshield on the rudders, we would certainly have
extensive work to do in drydock. Even replacing the doubler
plates is a lot of work. "
Grzegorz Girjat, Superintendent Ernst Russ
