L.L: We noticed more and more poor quality spare parts/materials emerge in the market,including Sacrificial Zinc/Aluminum anode, Anti-fouling anode Copper/Aluminum anode, Anti-corrosion MMO/Ti anode, which
is used for ship’s hull cathodic protection and seawater pipeline protection, with the faulty products applied on ship either in way of out of standard material or the decline on the product size, which makes the very poor or insufficient protection result. For MCS, we always treat the quality as the life of the company, with strict regula- tions and procedures on our quality control department, we secure all products from us are 100% reliable to meet the quality standard.

to reduce time required, e.g. we have more and more categories of spares/products/materials kept in stock. So as to meet clients any urgent demand. We have more service stations to meet any technical service urgent demand by clients.
