Blasting and coating solutions for the maritime sector.
Ships and offshore installations are continuously exposed to salt water, fluctuating temperatures, abrasion, and corrosion. Therefore, high-quality protection is essential to ensure safety and performance.
SMD Straal- en Coatingsbedrijf provides durable maintenance, repair, and life-extension of ship components, decks, technical installations, and steel structures. With specialized blasting, high-quality Belzona coatings, and industrial craftsmanship, we achieve reliable protection with minimal downtime and lower maintenance costs.

Custom solutions for every maritime project
No ship, machine, or offshore installation is the same. Therefore, our specialists first assess the technical condition and load-bearing capacity of the material. Then we apply the best method: from dry blasting and wet blasting to high-quality maritime coatings such as anti-corrosion, antifouling, and wear-resistant systems.
We protect and repair:
- steel elements and ship hulls
- deck structures and walking surfaces with a floor coating
- propulsion components such as the propeller, propeller shaft, and rudder
- machinery components such as engine blocks and pumps
Yacht Building
Yachts must not only look perfect, but also perform perfectly. The appearance is at least as important as the technology. We support yacht yards and owners with:
- Sandblasting and coating of the hull, deck, and underwater hull
- Sandblasting and coating of aluminum or stainless steel components against corrosion
- Liquid-tight coating in engine rooms and storage areas
- Sandblasting of stainless steel parts for a hygienic and sleek appearance
Offshore
Offshore installations are exposed to the harshest conditions. Our solutions are resistant to salt exposure, impact loads, and chemicals. We offer, among other things:
- Corrosion and cavitation protection on pipes and structures
- Pump repair and pipe repair under harsh conditions
- Fire-retardant coatings on crucial installation components
- Durable protection of helidecks and work platforms
Shipbuilding
We support shipyards in new builds, renovations, and refits. We provide structural protection and technical service life extension with our blasting and coating solutions. Our services include:
- Blasting and preserving ships in dry dock or on site
- Blasting and coating engine blocks for heat and oil resistance
- Coatings for ballast tanks, bow thrusters, or weld seams
- Blasting and coating of machinery rooms and ship decks
Shipping
For shipping companies, it’s all about efficiency, reliability, and availability. We offer:
- Coatings to prevent corrosion in cargo holds and technical spaces
- Protection and repair of rudders, shafts, and thrusters
- Pipe repair and leak sealing of piping systems
- Sustainable floor coatings with anti-slip for safe use
Fisheries
Fishing vessels face intense wear and damage from nets, cargo, and weather conditions. Our solutions:
- Wear-resistant coatings for cargo holds, decks, and wheelhouses
- Liquid-tight repairs on fish holds and cold rooms
- Repair of ship floors and technical installations
- Restoration of components that are in continuous contact with water and salt
