PROTECTION OF FLOATING PONTOONS FROM CORROSION -- PART III. CONDITION OF TEST FLOATS AFTER THREE YEARS

A test program was initiated to reduce the maintenance costs associated with steel pontoon camel floats. Three two-coat protective coating systems were applied to pontoons on each of three test floats. One test float was cathodically protected with zinc anodes, another with aluminum anodes, and the third without cathodic protection was designed to serve as a control. (Author)
