MGPS system - ICAF system
Marine Growth Prevention System
Marine fouling happens when unwanted plants, animals, and other organisms grow on surfaces. If a good Marine Growth Prevention System (MGPS) or impressed current anti-fouling system is not used, this can cause big problems for structures in the sea and boats. It can reduce performance, increase costs, and require more maintenance.
Keeper’s ICAF-MGPS anti-fouling solutions are not just top-quality, but also provide sustainable protection against marine fouling. This is especially important for ships today, as sustainability and environmental regulations are becoming more crucial for all companies.
In Europe and worldwide, groups like the European Union are focusing on the use of biocides, which are chemicals used to control organisms. It’s also essential to get copper ICAF anodes from a certified company like Keeper; otherwise, a ship’s green passport status might be affected.
Therefore, ship owners, operators, and shipyards that invest in advanced MGPS and ICAF systems will not only see better performance but will also be more prepared for stricter future regulations regarding anti-fouling systems on ships.
