This will reduces costs for the owner by not having to replace submerged sacrificial anodes during any port calls or periodic surveys. Otech offer solutions for retrofit by converting any traditional sacrificial system or outdated ICCP system, giving our customers a ICCP system designed for the future which is guaranteed to make an impact on maintenance costs.
