The article describes the methods used for 30 years in the company Cosmos Metallizing Co. Ltd (South Korea) to restore parts of marine vessels. Experience has shown that the repair company should have a whole set of methods and appropriate equipment, since it is impossible to use only one or two technologies. Examples of repair and restoration of various parts of sea transport are given.

restoration and protection of parts, gas-thermal spraying, high-speed spraying, electric arc metallization, hypersonic metallization, wear resistance, hardness
