Iccp in ships

ICCP (impressed current cathodic protection) is a vital system deployed in ships to protect them against corrosion. This system is used to prevent water from causing metal parts of a (usually iron) ship's hull to rust or corrode. Owing to its several advantages, iccp system in ships can be more useful; however, it also has the following common problems which have to be resolved in order to make it efficient. ICCP is an ecological alternative to conventional corrosion protection solutions like sacrificial anodes. The ships can steer clear of toxic chemicals commonly deployed in other anti-corrosion methods by deploying an impressed current system. In this way the environmental impact is minimized and, as a consequence, so too is potential exposure to the crew and passengers on board.

Common issues with ICCP systems on ships

Another advantage with ICCP systems is that they are generally easy to install, and offer aspects related to low maintenance once the system is installed. It enables ship owners and operators to be well assured that their vessels remain protected without watching over or altering the system every second. ICCP on ship is popular among ship owners because it's simple and effective. ICCP systems may experience problems with electrical grounding that can impact the overall performance of the system. Good ground acting is required and the electric current must be dispersed evenly against a ship metal structure. In the absence of sufficient grounding, certain parts of the ship might not be sufficiently protected in that they may remain exposed to corrosion.
