MEDITERRANEA DI NAVIGAZIONE CHOSE MARINELINE ®
OVER STAINLESS STEEL IN 1998
5 YEARS LATER STATES “MADE CORRECT DECISION”

Medimar’s M/T “Sveva” 14,000 DWT IMO II Chemical Tanker IMO II Chemical Tanker was built and MarineLINE coated at DePoli Shipyard, Italy. All 17 cargo tanks and 2 deck tanks were coated with MarineLINE.

The M/T “Sveva’s” other distinctions are:

  • Standby Electrical Propulsion Drive
  • Protected Bunker Tank behind Double Hull
  • Multiple Strengthened Cargo Tanks for Carriage of Cooled Liquid Chemical Gases, such as Propylene Oxide


Medimar’s Managing Director states, “MarineLINE was selected for its quality and versatility.
It is cheaper than stainless steel and conventional high performance coatings do not provide us with the versatility required.”

MarineLINE impermeable smooth surface finish is further advantage. This means it is very efficient for tank cleaning operations, with excellent ability to sequence different types of liquid cargoes. Tank washing and drying times are even better than stainless steel tanks, which enables Medimar to achieve faster vessel turnaround at cargo discharge and loading terminals.”

Cargoes carried include:

  • 100% Acetic Acid MTBE
  • Fatty Acids
  • Epichlorohydrine
  • Methanol
  • MTBE
  • Caustics
  • And Other Aggressive Chemicals
