How Much Paint for a Dutch Masterpiece?

Roland | September 30, 2007 at 1:18 pm | In Technical, Latest News |

A while back we posted a photo of Eurodam in an intermediate stage of having the hull painted. That generated the logical question from a couple of savvy readers: How much paint does it take to paint the hull of HAL’s largest-ever ship?

Henry Veringa, project manager for Holland America at the shipyard, and our favorite photographer and all-around answer guy, got us an answer.

For our metric-system readers, it’s 375,000 liters; for metrically challenged Americans, it’s 99,065 gallons.
