Propspeed partners with Monaco Marine

Manufacturer of underwater foul-release coatings, Propspeed, has announced it has trained and certified Propspeed applicators at Monaco Marine’s marina and network of shipyards based along the Mediterranean coast between Monaco and Marseilles.

“Boat owners trust reputable shipyards like Monaco Marine to give them the best advice on how to keep their vessels running at peak performance and to efficiently and effectively install the right products to protect their investment,” says Chris Baird, CEO Propspeed. “The staff at Monaco Marine are some of the most professional that we have worked with. We are confident that the vessels that come through their yards will leave in the best shape and ready for the season.”

Propspeed’s topcoat is formulated to prevent marine growth from bonding to metal surfaces below the waterline. The company says the coating increases boat efficiency, protects against corrosion, reduces drag, and saves fuel and maintenance costs. The exceptionally strong chemical and mechanical bond between the metal substrate, the etching primer, and the clear coat ensures the Propspeed coating sticks to any underwater metals and lasts season after season.

“Monaco Marine has been using Propspeed for many years and has demonstrated a very high aptitude with the product,” says David Queva, chief operating officer Monaco Marine. “We now have more trained applicators and are able to offer the great benefits of the Propspeed system to even more of our customers.”

Propspeed products include Propspeed for running gear and any underwater metals, Foulfree for transducers, and Lightspeed for underwater lighting.
