Advanced Polymer Coatings Wins Multi-Ship Deal with Shell Project Solar
AVON, OH — Coating manufacturer Advanced Polymer Coatings (APC) is gearing up production after signing a new deal with Chinese ship owner Shandong Shipping to supply a fleet of 50,000 DWT medium range tankers with tank coatings.
Headquartered in Avon, Ohio, APC makes the MarineLINE protective cargo tank coating. The new deal follows the successful completion of an earlier contract with Shandong for APC to apply MarineLINE to eight new 50,000 DWT MR product/chemical tankers to be chartered to Shell for its Shell Project Solar program. That deal saw APC supply MarineLINE to the New Times Shipbuilding Co. Ltd., at the Xingang Port in Jingjiang City. The deal was completed in November 2021.
