Heavy-Duty Corrosion Control for Tug Boats
Built for Harsh Duty. Backed by Proven Protection.
Tug boats operate in some of the most demanding marine environments—harbor basins, shallow waters, brackish zones, and constant hull contact. Wilson Walton International delivers reliable, long-lasting corrosion control systems tailored to the rugged needs of tug vessels, workboats, and harbor support craft.
From sacrificial anodes and ICCP systems to Marine Growth Prevention Systems (MGPS), we engineer every component to withstand tough operating cycles and aggressive marine exposure.
Sacrificial Anodes – Zinc & Aluminum
- Custom-fit for hulls, rudders, thrusters, and nozzles
- MIL-spec zinc for cold and brackish water environments
- Aluminum alloy anodes for improved performance in seawater
- Easy to install and cost-effective
Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP)
- Ideal for high-usage, steel-hulled tugs
- Reduces maintenance frequency and improves hull efficiency
- Smart current control for extended drydock intervals
- Retrofit and OEM designs available
MGPS – Marine Growth Prevention Systems
- Stops biological fouling in seawater intakes and cooling systems
- Minimizes engine and generator wear
- Reduces emergency maintenance and operational downtime
