Our Story

Brunel Marine Coating Systems was founded in 1995 with a clear mission: to create the most environmentally responsible and high-performing underwater marine coating available. After several years of development and testing, that goal was achieved in 1999 with the launch of EnviroMarine, a 100% solids, completely non-toxic, and solvent-free coating, built to outperform all major brands in both durability and sustainability.

To prove EnviroMarine's performance, Brunel conducted a full-scale field test in 2000 on the M/V CP Prospect, a 225m (740ft) containership. The forward and aft thirds of the hull were coated with EnviroMarine. The middle third used a premium antifouling system from a major manufacturer. All coatings were applied using the same surface preparation, in the same shipyard, by the same crew.

Over the next six years, the M/V CP Prospect operated in a wide range of conditions, from ice-breaking routes in the North Atlantic to slow-moving tropical waters like the Panama Canal. When she returned to drydock in 2006, the results were clear. The major manufacturer's coating had failed, with 85% of the system gone and some areas worn down to bare steel. In contrast, the EnviroMarine-coated sections showed no signs of delamination and no measurable loss of film thickness.

That same level of performance has been replicated in every application since.

EnviroMarine and other Brunel Coatings systems have been applied to hulls, decks, ramps, ballast tanks, cranes, and dockside infrastructure, consistently delivering long-term protection and cost savings.

Brunel Coatings is proud to bring this proven, field-tested technology to North America. Backed by more than 200 vessels and over 20 years of performance in some of the world’s harshest marine environments, our coatings deliver long-lasting protection, lower maintenance costs, and measurable environmental advantages. Built on continuous innovation and engineered for real-world conditions, they perform where it matters most: at sea.

Our Mission

To deliver marine coatings that extend vessel life, reduce environmental impact, and minimize maintenance downtime. We serve shipowners, operators, and builders who need coatings that are cleaner, tougher, and built to perform in any condition.

Our Vision

To set a new standard in the North American marine industry where protective coatings provide long-term value without harming the environment. We envision cleaner ports, longer service intervals, and reduced operating costs for every vessel and structure we help protect.
