Ship-2-Shore is an emerging fluid thin film coating (FTFC) technology designed as a corrosion/rust inhibitor product.
The introduction of FTFC corrosion/rust inhibitor technology is designed to protect infrastructure structural integrity such as: steel used for building construction, bridges, bilges and voids in ships, internal structures of cars, heavy construction equipment, electronic equipment, offshore oil platforms, transportation etc.
The product is designed as a corrosion/rust inhibitor product. It is specifically being marketed as a product to reduce the economic impact that corrosion has on worldwide infrastructure.
The company's goal is to reduce the worldwide economic impact due to corrosion. Ship-2-Shore will support that goal. Corrosion is a natural process and universal phenomena worldwide. The estimated annual cost of corrosion to worldwide GDP is $1.4 trillion. This number represents approximately 3 per cent of worldwide GDP at $47 trillion. As an example: corrosion cost to the US economy is approximately $300 billion annually. This figure is equivalent to 3 per cent US GDP of $10 trillion.
