NEW HAMMA® MARINE STAINLESS STEEL CLEANING GUIDE 🔗🌊⚓

Friday 22nd August 2025

PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR HARSH MARINE ENVIRONMENTS

We are pleased to launch the new hamma® Marine Stainless Steel Cleaning Guide — a practical, no-nonsense resource designed to help boat owners and riggers keep stainless steel wire rope and fittings looking their best in tough marine environments.

why cleaning matters more than ever

While stainless steel remains the strongest and most reliable choice for yacht rigging, today’s conditions — from higher airborne pollutants to increased electronics on board — mean that regular cleaning is essential for maintaining appearance and protecting value.

WHAT’S INSIDE THE NEW GUIDE

The new guide offers:

✅ Simple recommendations based on vessel location and use

✅ Easy, effective cleaning products and tools

✅ A four-step cleaning process tailored for marine conditions

✅ Advice on managing and preventing tea staining

PROTECTING THE FINISH, NOT THE STRENGTH

Launching the new guide, Group General Manager Josh Sheedy said that hamma® wire already meets the highest global manufacturing standards and comes with a 10-year structural warranty. However, maintaining stainless steel is essential to ensuring that wire ropes and fittings continue to look their best — especially in harsh marine environments.

“This guide is all about protecting the finish, so your rigging continues to look as good as it performs,” Josh Sheedy.

BUILT ON INDUSTRY-BACKED EXPERTISE

The hamma® Marine Stainless Steel Cleaning Guide is based on Australian Stainless Steel Development Association (ASSDA) recommendations and global best practice. It’s designed for everyday yacht owners and professional riggers who want straightforward, realistic advice.
