UW Group, in collaboration with its principal WENCON, successfully hosted two technical training sessions dedicated to epoxy repair products and solutions for marine applications.

The training sessions were held on 9 September 2026 in Greece and 17 September 2026 in Cyprus, bringing together maritime professionals for a practical and interactive programme focused on the correct application of WENCON epoxy products in marine repair and maintenance.

The programme was designed to combine technical knowledge with practical experience, providing participants with an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of WENCON products and their application in real marine environments.

Combining Technical Knowledge with Hands-On Experience

The training programme covered four key areas:

• Technical Presentation – An overview of WENCON epoxy products, their characteristics and applications in marine environments.
• Surface Preparation – Guidance on correct preparation methods, application techniques and best practices.
• Practical Application – Hands-on demonstrations using real components, allowing participants to observe the application process in practice.
• Q&A and Case Discussion – An interactive session addressing technical questions and discussing real onboard repair cases, with practical technical advice from the WENCON team.

The practical element of the training provided participants with an opportunity to see how epoxy repair solutions can be applied to specific marine repair requirements, while the case discussions focused on challenges and solutions encountered during actual onboard operations.

Following the technical programme, participants continued the exchange in an informal setting over a buffet and drinks.

Strengthening Technical Knowledge and Industry Collaboration

The training reflects UW Group’s ongoing commitment to supporting the maritime industry not only through the representation of specialised marine solutions, but also through technical knowledge sharing and practical support.

Through its cooperation with WENCON, UW Group provides access to specialised epoxy repair solutions together with the technical expertise required for their effective application.

The two sessions also provided a valuable platform for professionals to exchange experience, discuss practical challenges and strengthen technical knowledge across the marine repair and maintenance sector.

UW Group and WENCON would like to thank all participants for their active involvement and contribution to the discussions.
