Sherwin-Williams Receives SSPC Military Coatings Project Award of Excellence
CLEVELAND – Sherwin-Williams Protective & Marine Coatings, together with the U.S. Navy and Mid-Atlantic Coatings Inc. (MAC), earned the SSPC Military Coatings Project Award of Excellence for their work on the USS George Washington (CVN-73) super carrier. For the second time in five years, Sherwin-Williams stood up to the task of overhauling a thousand-foot U.S. Navy aircraft carrier. Using new coatings and technologies, innovative collaborations and environmentally sustainable solutions, the USS George Washington had a range of critical areas preserved and recoated, from topside to ballast tanks and interior fuel tanks.
The award recognizes exceptional coatings work performed on U.S. military ships, structures or facilities. This year’s honorees will be recognized Feb. 11, 2019, at the SSPC Coatings+ Conference in Orlando, Florida. Sherwin-Williams is a principal supplier of marine and MIL-SPEC coatings to the U.S. Navy and previously won this award in 2014 for a similar project involving the Navy’s USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) super carrier.
