A fresh coat of paint does more than make ships look good. It helps them perform better too. This winter, the CSL Niagara and Baie St. Paul checked into drydock and came out looking sharp with new hull coatings. The work was carried out at Ontario Shipyards in Port Weller, ON,  and at Groupe Océan’s facility in Les Méchins, QC.

More than just cosmetic, the new coatings help prevent marine growth, reduce drag, and improve fuel efficiency during everyday operations. They also provide an important layer of protection for the steel beneath the surface, helping extend the life of the vessels. Over time, their fuel performance will show just how much difference a well-applied coat of paint can make.
