Control moisture on marine vessels
The fight against onboard moisture is endless – especially at sea, where high salinity adds to the corrosion risk. But you can stay ahead of the battle with marine moisture control solutions from Munters. Protect vessels and their operations with our marine dehumidifiers, mist eliminators and more.
Applications for marine
Protect vessels and equipment from corrosion
The marine environment is harsh on all watercraft, large or small. The relative humidity is always high, and the presence of salt intensifies the risk of corrosion. While the constant moisture threatens the hull, it can also lead to rust in cables, sensors, propulsion subsystems and more. That means brittleness, increased susceptibility to torque forces and reduced electrical resistance, creating a greater likelihood of mechanical breakdowns or electronic failures.
Advantages:
- Energy-efficient moisture removal
- Fewer repairs and replacements
- Higher uptime and reliability
Safeguard engine performance
The engine is the heart of any ship or pleasure boat. Its performance depends on a dry and clean airflow, but moisture and contaminants can easily find their way in. Traditional solutions such as conventional louvers, ventilators and swan necks do little or nothing to keep damaging moisture from penetrating the engine room.
Advantages:
- Optimal engine operating conditions
- Fewer filter changes
- Reduced engine maintenance
Protect cargo and fuel from mold
Wherever moisture is present, so is the danger of mold, mildew and bacterial growth. At sea, both cargo and fuel are at risk from condensation and water ingress. On container ships, bulkers and tankers, even the cargo mass can lead to humidity, causing “temperature lag” as the vessel moves between day and night or different climate zones.
Advantages:
- High cargo integrity
- Reduced risk to operations
- Prevention of costly fuel losses
Enable faster cargo changes
Turnaround in port is a key to profits for chemical carriers and other types of tankers. When the cargo tanks need to be cleaned before loading the next cargo, drying time comes at a cost. Using marine dehumidifiers from Munters, you can effectively shorten the cargo tank drying process – without resorting to expensive, energy-intensive heating.

Advantages:
- Quicker drying after tank cleaning
- Optimal conditions for new cargo
- Profitable efficiency
Create a better climate on board
A comfortable and healthy environment is just as important at sea as anywhere else. On cruise ships, yachts and pleasure boats, it’s an integral part of the experience. On merchant ships, utility vessels, offshore platforms and more, it’s crucial to operations. But achieving clean air and correct humidity is especially challenging on board.
Advantages:
- Improved onboard experience
- Health benefits for crews and passengers
- Longer lasting equipment and furnishings
Improve shipyard processes
During newbuilding or maintenance at a shipyard, airborne moisture can get in the way of results. When sandblasting or painting, it can lead directly to condensation and corrosion. But it can also cause a blemished finish or hidden functional defects, because paint and other coatings require low humidity for a proper surface bond.
Advantages:
- Reduced corrosion risk
- High-quality finish
- Uniform coating properties
Reduce exhaust gas emissions
As focus on the environment grows, green ambitions and new marine regulations are changing how ships operate. Exhaust gas cleaning is a reliable way to curb sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions, and many ships already have scrubbers on board. Munters supports exhaust gas cleaning providers with key components for scrubber solutions, including demisters and packing material.

Advantages:
- Low pressure loss
- Process stability
- Optimal absorption
