EMCS Industries Ltd. Celebrates 70 Years of Innovation: May 16, 2025

Today marks a major milestone in our journey, 70 years of EMCS Industries Ltd. leading the charge in marine growth prevention, corrosion protection, and sustainable innovation.

From our founding in 1955, when we introduced the world’s first electrolytic Marine Growth Protection System (MGPS), to our present-day role as a global pioneer in antifouling technology, our history is built on vision, resilience, and partnership.

Since acquiring the company a decade ago, CEO Trevor Tasker has had the privilege of working with a team of innovators and problem solvers who believe in providing the best customer experience. Together we’ve grown and added value, in addition to our staple MARELCO Guardian MGPS anode systems for the prevention of fouling in the internal sea water system of ships, we have gone on to:

• Develop Suricle™, a revolutionary antifouling wrap, proven to deliver up to 72 months (and counting) of protection against biofouling and corrosion with unmatched sustainability credentials and adherence to the 2023 IMO Biofouling standards.

• Introduced NOXX™ Hydrosonic System, an elegant, non-invasive solution to keep hulls and niches clean using the power of low frequency acoustic technology, that is not ultrasound, a true leap forward in passive antifouling.

• Partnered exclusively with Cathelco Ltd., becoming North America’s go to provider of ICCP and MGPS systems.

• Formed ShipShape Biofouling Management Ltd., our dedicated subsidiary focused on compliance, inspection, and fleet-wide antifouling strategy.

• Built and readied ShipCarePro™, our intelligent digital platform for managing vessel biofouling risk, inspections, and antifouling performance, fully automating Biofouling Management Plans and Record Books to ease regulatory compliance and operational reporting. Going live in just five days on May 21st.

To our clients, collaborators, and colleagues, thank you for being part of this remarkable voyage. And to the EMCS team, both past and present, your dedication, courage, and creativity have made this milestone possible.

Here’s to the next 70 years. We will continue to innovate, back up our claims, and contribute to smarter fleets and stronger partnerships.

💸 How much is corrosion quietly draining from your fleet every year? ⚓

It’s not just the visible damage—corrosion takes a serious toll on your bottom line, sneaking in through frequent repairs, surprise maintenance stops, and shortened vessel life. The maritime industry loses billions annually to corrosion-related headaches. Yikes!

But here’s the good news: our Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) system has your back. Think of ICCP as your vessel’s invisible shield, fighting off seawater’s corrosive elements and giving your fleet a longer, healthier life. 🌊

Can you afford not to protect your fleet? Every year without corrosion protection means bigger repair bills and unexpected downtime.

Let’s talk ICCP—saving you money, cutting maintenance costs, and keeping your vessels sailing smoothly. Future-proof your fleet today! 🚢

Biofouling management is no longer just a best practice—it’s a critical component of compliance, sustainability, and operational efficiency. With the IMO’s regulations in full swing, adapting your strategy is essential for navigating the complexities of global port requirements and protecting our marine ecosystems.

Why does this matter more than ever now?
⚓ Stringent Port Regulations:
Australia (Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne): Strict biosecurity measures require detailed biofouling management plans.
New Zealand (Auckland, Wellington): Rigorous biosecurity rules aim to prevent pest and disease spread.
California, USA (Los Angeles, San Francisco): Marine invasive species regulations demand compliance.
Hawaii, USA (Honolulu, Kahului): Measures focus on stopping invasive species introductions.
European Union Ports: EU regulations target the spread of invasive alien species.
Singapore: Ecological protection through strict biofouling management.
Canada (Vancouver, Halifax): Focused on marine biosecurity through strong compliance measures.
