Who We Are

Specialists in
Marine Protection

Cuproban is a UK-based engineering company specialising exclusively in Marine Growth Protection Systems (MGPS) and Corrosion Control. Our focus is narrow by design — it means every engineer, every product, and every installation is optimised for one purpose: keeping your vessel's seawater systems clean and your structures corrosion-free.

We work directly with ship operators, naval architects, offshore engineers, and shipyards worldwide. Whether you're fitting out a new build or retrofitting an ageing fleet, our team provides the technical expertise and class-approved hardware to get the job done right.

How We Work

What Sets Us Apart

Engineering First

Every system we supply is engineered to specification — not off the shelf. We design around your vessel, not the other way around.

Global Reach

With support offices and approved installers on every continent, we deliver and commission systems wherever your fleet operates.

Class Approved

Our products carry type approval from all major classification societies, giving operators confidence in compliance and performance.

Long-Term Partnership

We don't disappear after installation. Our team provides ongoing technical support, spares, and system monitoring throughout the vessel's life.

Original Cuproban Systems Limited brochure — fully automatic system for biofouling and corrosion control
Original Brochure

Cuproban Systems Limited has been at the forefront of electrolytic marine protection since its founding in England, UK. Our original brochure — still as relevant today as when it was printed — describes an improved electrolytic method for protection against marine growth fouling of sea chests, pipelines, strainers, valves, condensers and all seawater systems.

The core technology remains the same: copper and aluminium anodes, energised by a DC impressed current, release ions that form a protective "floc" throughout the seawater system — preventing biological fouling and corrosion at source. Fully automatic. Safer than chemicals. Economical to run.
