A Tank Sample Wherein Risk Level is Very High

The photo shows that the tank has almost more than 70% Hard Scale as described according to IACS PR-33 Owners Hull Inspection and Maintenance Schemes. The tank on the photo is labeled as colored RED under Traffic Light Condition Scoring.

The tank has almost more than 70% Hard Scale as described according to IACS PR-33 Owners Hull Inspection. The practical approach to avoid heavy corrosion inside the tanks is to have schedules surveys inside the tanks and if possible, carry out corrosion repairs to prevent the corrosion from going to worse

Scheduled Surveys and inspections on the tanks coupled with detailed corrosion assestments can prevent these worse conditions from happening. Moreover, if the condition calls for a treatment in the tanks, this should be followed to minimize the corrosion damages and apply protective coating to ensure tank integrity preservation.

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...
