A helicopter landing area at the deck of a superyacht. It sounds wonderful, but a permanent heliport also takes up a lot of space and damages the teak. Maybe the biggest hurdle with owning an aviaton capable superyacht is the trade-of between the aesthetc design features and the standards for meetng the certfcaton requirements.

Inhibiting Corrosion in Vessels with M-645
Marine environments are extremely aggressive and corrosion protecton in these areas requires an especially careful approach. Applicaton of Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitors (VPCI) in the hydrostatc testng process is of great importance since the test water can be aggressive to pipeline material. The same goes for seawater ballastng of ships. M-645 is a foat coat used to inhibit corrosion in vessels containing saltwater or brine. It foats on the surface of the water, forming a self-healing protectve flm on adjacent metals. The flm displaces water containing chlorides from the surface of the vessel. As the water is raised or lowered, M-645 coats every square inch of the vessel’s interior – including ring stfeners, girders, piping, and side shells – with a sufcient amount of product to protect against corrosion.
