Researchers question the effectiveness of anodes in ballast tanks

Field evidence from over 100 ships suggests that cathodic protection is having little effect on ballast tank condition. Elsyca has developed a model to help improve the situation, writes Wendy Laursen

.A survey of over 100 ships did not find a significant difference in the extent of ballast tank corrosion between ships with anodes and those without.
