Taiwan — C-Cube International, a Netherlands-based technology company specializing in coating and corrosion monitoring solutions, has taken another step in expanding its activities in Asia with a recent visit to the Maritime Technology Innovation Center (MTIC) in Taiwan. The visit focused on identifying areas of cooperation aimed at enhancing asset integrity and maintenance practices in maritime and offshore applications.
C-Cube International is known for its data-driven approach to coating and corrosion assessment. Using advanced sensor technology, the company provides insight into coating performance, degradation risks, and the long-term condition of steel assets. Its solutions are used by asset owners, research institutes, and maintenance teams across various industries, including offshore wind, maritime, oil and gas, and infrastructure.
MTIC, on the other hand, plays a key role in Taiwan’s maritime innovation ecosystem. As a collaborative platform connecting academia, government, and industry, MTIC aims to accelerate technological development in maritime engineering, port operations, offshore energy, and environmental sustainability. The center also serves as a gateway for international organizations seeking to engage with Taiwan’s rapidly growing maritime and offshore wind sectors.
During C-Cube’s visit, both organizations engaged in in-depth discussions on current challenges affecting asset maintenance, including coating durability, environmental exposure in offshore environments, and the need for better predictive tools to support maintenance planning. C-Cube presented its methodology for measuring and modeling coating degradation, highlighting how higher-quality data can reduce downtime, inspection workload, and long-term maintenance costs.
MTIC expressed interest in how C-Cube’s corrosion and coating monitoring technologies could support research programs, testing initiatives, and industry demonstration projects in Taiwan. Both sides recognized strong alignment in goals: MTIC aims to promote innovative solutions that strengthen Taiwan’s maritime capabilities, while C-Cube seeks to collaborate with local stakeholders to demonstrate its technology and support long-term asset sustainability.
The visit concluded with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between C-Cube International and MTIC. The MoU serves as a foundation for future cooperation, covering potential areas such as joint research, technology validation, pilot projects, and knowledge exchange. It marks the start of a shared effort to explore how predictive coating and corrosion monitoring can contribute to safer, more efficient, and more sustainable maritime operations in Taiwan.
The agreement represents a significant milestone for C-Cube International as it continues to expand globally and build partnerships with leading institutions in Asia.
Further updates will be shared as the collaboration progresses.
