Paratech Marine Damage Control System

The most important factor you get with Paratech's Damage Control System (DCS) is time! The Paratech Marine (DCS) is a flexible and capable maritime damage control shoring solution and has been designed to make on-board shoring faster, safer and easier than ever before. With incoming water comes increasing depth and with that, higher water pressure...one of the most unforgiving vicious cycles has begun. To break this cycle you need time...time to build shoring that can slow the incoming water enough for pumps to keep up.

  • Damage Control Kit-A is designed for vessels larger than 80m such as Frigates, Corvettes, Cruise ships and Tankers
  • Damage Control Kit-B is designed for vessels between 50m and 80m such as Minesweepers, Workboats and small Ferries
  • Damage Control Kit-C is designed for vessels between 30m and 60m such as Patrol boats and smaller Workboats
  • Damage Control Kit-D is designed for smaller vessels under 30m
