Corrosion of Dockyard Infrastructural Materials: a Peep into its Causes, Effects and Mitigation Strategies.
Research Article Agriculture

Abstract

Corrosion of dockyard infrastructural materials is a pervasive issue affecting the durability, safety, and economic viability of marine structures. This paper explores the sources, impacts, and mitigation strategies for corrosion in dockyards. The corrosive environment in dockyards, characterized by seawater exposure, high humidity, and mechanical stress, accelerates degradation of materials like steel, concrete, and coatings. Sources of corrosion include seawater, atmospheric conditions, and microbiological activity. Impacts range from structural weakening and equipment failure to environmental contamination and economic losses. Effective mitigation strategies include materials selection, coatings, cathodic protection, and regular maintenance. This review highlights the importance of proactive corrosion management in dockyards, providing insights for stakeholders to optimize infrastructure lifespan and minimize environmental risks.
