Oceanic 5000 – IPEX Sails the Seas Case Study

Oceanic 5000 is a vessel designed with a sophisticated system for laying pipe on the sea bed up to depths of 300 metres. The vessel, measuring 198 m long and 48 m wide, supports heavy cranes and has a large storage area for pipe that allows it to stay on the job for extended periods of time. With a crew of 300, Oceanic 5000 places heavy demands on its potable water system.Originally, the ship’s pipes were made of steel. Steel meets the marine requirements according to the IMO regulations, but it is also very susceptible to corrosion. After several years, there were countless issues with poor flow in the onboard, hot-and cold-water systems and poor potable water quality. The badly rusted steel pipes needed to be replaced. IPEX Corzan® CPVC pipe and fittings were chosen to replace the old steel pipe.
