AMPP Webcast to Examine Maritime Corrosion Inspection, Repair and Asset Protection

AMPP’s Nov. 24 webcast explores how digital inspection, cold spray repair and predictive maintenance can help extend the life of vessels and marine structures.

HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, November 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Inspection findings, materials knowledge and repair methods all shape how vessels and marine infrastructure perform over time. An upcoming Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP) webcast will explore how maritime professionals can use these resources to improve maintenance planning and support longer asset service life.

AMPP, the world’s leading authority on corrosion control and protective coatings, will host “The Future of Maritime Corrosion Management: Innovation, Inspection and Asset Protection” at 9 a.m. EST on Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2026. The 2.5-hour session will feature experts from naval operations, commercial inspection, classification, industry and academic research.

The presenters will connect corrosion science with field experience, covering continuous monitoring, digital inspection tools, cold spray repair, predictive maintenance and cathodic protection. Participants will also hear research findings on atmospheric corrosion and a case study on rehabilitating marine oil jetties.

“Every inspection and repair decision contributes to an asset’s future performance,” said Jennifer Merck, Vice President of Maritime and Defense at AMPP. “By bringing research and field experience into the same conversation, we can help maritime professionals better understand their options and evaluate where new approaches fit. That knowledge gives owners and operators a stronger basis for planning maintenance and making assets last.”

Featured presentations include:
• “Asset Integrity through Continuous Monitoring”
Heramb Trifaley, Managing Director, AGEP India Pvt. Ltd.
Trifaley will discuss how continuous monitoring supports asset integrity and maritime corrosion management.

• “Growing Awareness in the Maritime Industry”
Anthony Manglona, Tidal Corrosion Services
Manglona will explore how maritime professionals can use available media resources to understand industry developments and prepare for current and future demands.

• “Better Together: How Technology and the Trained Inspector Win Together in Maritime Coating Inspection”
Shaun Inniss, Maroon Inspection Services
Using examples from shipyard coating work, Inniss will examine how digital tools support inspection, documentation and quality control. He will discuss how trained inspectors apply their experience to interpret information and evaluate coating work.

• “Cold Spray for Naval Corrosion Repair: Applications, Lessons, and What’s Next”
Dan Stanley, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA)
Stanley will explore cold spray applications for corrosion repair and restoration, including suitable materials and their use alongside traditional repair methods. Topics will include surface preparation, quality assurance and quality control, operator qualification, and coating compatibility.

• “From Reactive to Predictive: The New Era of Maritime Corrosion Maintenance”
Abdul Kadhar, DNV
Kadhar will offer a classification perspective on the transition toward predictive maintenance. He will examine how digitalization, advanced materials and data can help owners and operators identify degradation earlier and prioritize maintenance across an asset’s service life.

• “Maritime Corrosion at the atmospheric zone (elevations > 12 ft above the mean high tide)”
Francisco Presuel Moreno, Ph.D., Florida Atlantic University
Presuel Moreno will share findings from an experimental study measuring chloride deposition at elevations more than 12 feet above mean high tide. The presentation will examine atmospheric exposure and its relevance to corrosion in marine structures.

• “Corrosion Repair and Galvanic Anode Cathodic Protection of Marine Oil Jetties at Chennai Port”
Dr. Arpit Goyal, Aavaran Technologies LLP
Goyal will present a case study on rehabilitating two marine oil jetty heads at Chennai Port. He will discuss concrete repairs and installing zinc sacrificial anodes to address reinforcement corrosion and support continued service.

Designed for professionals responsible for corrosion prevention, coating inspection, repair and maintenance, the webcast will explore how emerging technologies and applied expertise can inform maintenance decisions for vessels and marine infrastructure.

This webcast is proudly sponsored by AGEP India Pvt. Ltd., a leading provider of high-quality industrial protective and marine coatings, whose innovative corrosion control solutions support asset longevity and operational resilience across India’s maritime sector.
