YOUR FINISHING PROCESS JUST GOT EASIER. DISCOVER HOW OUR TOOLS HELP THE MARITIME, SHIPBUILDING AND MARINE MAINTENANCE INDUSTY
The maritime and shipbuilding world plays a huge role in keeping global transportation, trade, and defense moving. With countless ships navigating oceans every day, regular upkeep isn’t just a recommendation—it’s essential. From battling rust caused by saltwater to dealing with buildup on hulls and wear on moving parts, maintenance crews face constant challenges. That’s why surface finishing is such a critical part of keeping vessels in top shape.
Industrial brushes and the FLEX-HONE® tool have become go-to solutions for maintenance crews in the maritime and shipbuilding industry. These tools are designed to tackle some of the toughest challenges vessels face—from rust and corrosion caused by saltwater exposure to smoothing worn surfaces inside engines, hydraulics, and pipes. Regular use not only helps prevent unexpected breakdowns but also extends the lifespan of critical components. By incorporating these tools into routine maintenance schedules, shipbuilders and repair specialists can improve system performance, reduce unplanned downtime, and avoid costly repairs or part replacements. In an industry where time in port means lost revenue, having reliable, efficient tools on hand is a must. The result is greater operational reliability and ships that are better prepared to handle the demanding conditions of life at sea.
The FLEX-HONE® tool is a versatile and dependable choice for surface finishing in the maritime service and rebuilding industry. Whether in a shipyard or performing emergency repairs while a vessel is dead in the water, the tool allows for in-place component restoration minimizing downtime, extending equipment life, and avoiding costly overhauls.
