A Tank Sample where Corrosion is Between Transition from Fair to poor Condition

The photo shows the tank condition as transition fair to poor coating condition according to IACS Recommendation 87, Guideline For Coating Maintenance and Repairs for Ballast Tanks and Combined Cargo/Ballast Tanks on Oil tankers. The tank on the photo is at very Poor condition.

The tank condition as transition fair to poor coating condition according to IACS Recommendation 87, Guideline For Coating Maintenance and Repairs. Visualising actual corrosion wastage inside the tanks.

With the difficult dillema at hand, the best recourse would be to take the general and overall view of the tanks, then take in the percentages. Comparing both sides, if more tank areas or percentages fall on POOR conditions, then it gets this rating. Otherwise, the opposite FAIR rating is given once the sum on the FAIR areas exceed the latter.

Surface Treatment During Dry-Docking is a Costly Matter

Written by: Martin Leif Jennet – Business Owner It is far too often seen that ship-owners have too much faith in the paint suppliers. However, it should be remembered that they are interested in selling as much paint as possible. For far too many years ship-owners have trusted paint suppliers...

Treatment By High Pressure Fresh Water versus Handtooling

As clearly shown in the photo, HPFW result is more efficient in removing corrosion on the upperdeck and it also removes grease and oil. It also exposes the bare metal and anchor profile on the surface, thus ensuring proper preparation prior applying the paint primer which is a crucial element...

High Pressure Fresh Water Treatment on Deck pipes

The photo shows a result of an on-going HPFW treatment on the upper deck. As faced by many crews in different vessels particularly in tankers, removing corrosion on rounded shapes is very difficult. While the use of hand tools are common but then again, the result is not as efficient...

Secondary Surface Preparation For Erection Joints in New Buildings

With many new buildings in major shipyards now under IMO PSPC Ballast Tank rules, part of the standard calls for only power tooling to St 3.0 for the remaining erection joints. Though under the rule, the shipyard is permitted for this kind of treatment considering that the damages in a...
