Propspeed, the globally renowned innovator of underwater foul-release coatings, has announced that it has partnered with Marine Protection Systems, in order to educate and provide innovative solutions to prevent corrosion and minimise damage to vessels, and the marine biosphere.
The insulative properties of Propspeed combined with correct anode solutions greatly improve efficiencies, reducing fuel burn and operational costs, while also minimising the environmental impact that corrosion and coating loss has on the oceans.
Corrosion Protection Tank
Propspeed and Marine Protection Systems have teamed up to produce a Corrosion Protection Tank
Propspeed and Marine Protection Systems have teamed up to produce a Corrosion Protection Tank, where they will show the relationship and performance of various anodes and coatings.
The tank will be on display at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show 2022 event, at booth PR 26B, held from May 19 to May 22, 2022, in Queensland, Australia. Demonstrations will be conducted daily at 11 a.m. and at 3 p.m at the show.
Propspeed and Marine Protection Systems partnership
In addition, Propspeed will be recognising it’s Dealer of the Year, Marine Trade Supplies – The Boat Works at a reception, on May 19 morning. Australia’s largest boating supplies and chandlery store, Marine Trade Supplies’ 1,500 sq. meters of showroom is located in the heart of the Coomera Marine Precinct within The Boat Works Shipyard.
Chris Baird, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Propspeed, said “Our team is continually developing key partnerships in tangential technologies, to help our boating customers better understand how our products and other products they choose work together to protect their underwater assets.”
Marine solutions that are excellent corrosion inhibitors
Chris Baird adds, “While our product line is known for eliminating the adhesion of marine growth, it is also an excellent corrosion inhibitor. This new partnership will demonstrate the importance of selecting your anodes at the same time as selecting your underwater coatings. This is going to be a very informative demonstration.”
Jess Gatt, the General Manager of Marine Protection Systems, said “We have worked towards establishing a reputation as a market leader in the manufacturer of anode technology and other vessel infrastructure that improves cathodic protection and efficiencies.”

In the face of growing environmental sensitivity among groups worldwide, non-toxic alternatives to zinc are being sought after at an increased rate.
Maddox Anode, innovative anode technology
At the forefront of this change is a massive educational drive that is being conducted by Marine Protection Systems, the internationally renowned manufacturer of innovative anode technology - Maddox Anode.
With great efficiencies being achieved from a unique design, the Maddox Anode has proven to be the best choice for shaft drive cruisers or the protection of just stainless steel components, like swim platforms and trim tabs. Vessels protected with Maddox Anode results in significantly less growth, excellent coating performance and longevity with no environmentally toxic components.
Propspeed products
Propspeed products include Propspeed for running gear and any underwater metals, Foulfree for transducers and Lightspeed for underwater lighting.
