Success Story of Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) for ship’s outside blasting surface
Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) won the tender to build 15 ice breakers to transport liquefied natural gas (LNG) for Russia’s Yamal project worth some trillion KRW. This huge project started in November 2015 and will carry on till the middle of 2018.
DSME, one of the biggest shipbuilding companies in the world, had been using Pro58 and normal grit. For the project they required a suitable grit that would not cause any sticking risk on ship’s outside blasting surface for the special paint demanded from inspectors. To fit their specifications, SSK proposed to use a special Profilium specifically designed for the project that they named “Yamal Profilium”.
