First impression count more than anything else. The final paint finish always reflects the overall quality of the vessels construction, even before stepping onboard. Today's sophisticated paint systems require very strict application conditions if you are to guarantee a contamination free finish.

With increasing pressure to produce immaculate finishes several large paint sheds were constructed around the world in the mid 90s. These sheds had limited success as keeping dust levels low with these large spaces became almost impossible, especially as during most refinishing there are still other trades working on the vessel.

Over the last 10 years a new technique has been developed in Palma, to cover vessels individually, both afloat and in a dry dock with shrink-wrap plastic. Working platforms are set up within the structure to give painters access to all areas and still allow other trades to finish their works, essential during tight refit schedules. These covers are custom made to fit all, or part of, any vessel and comply with all port authority regulations for working afloat. Coupled with specially designed systems for the exhaust, gas and solvent filtration means that all paint work carried out with the yard comply with the ISO 14001 requirements for environmental control.
