Coating for steel last 2 years
(OP)
Hi, I'm looking for a coating for steel pipe that can last for at least 2 years in marine environment. Any recommendations?

Jotun and Hempel are other providers of marine/offshore coatings.

It's applied ahead of time, during manufacturing of the pipe.

Continuous immersion, or air + salt water tides, or air + salt spray, or air + waves and impact?
What is the fluid inside the pipe? What pressure and temperature?
When the "paint" goes bad in less than 2 years, what is the penalty when the pipe corrodes through? Oil spill? Fire, flooding, feasts or famine?

The pipes are shipped by sea. That's when they are exposed to salt water (splashes, etc). It could last for months.
The 2 years I mentioned earlier is in fact sort of "shelf life". The are stacked in a yard, under the sun and rain.
The coating need to protect the pipes from localized corrosion, or pitting.
We are more concerned about the external of the pipe, because normally the internal does not corrode as much.
