2、5 Northchase Drive Houston, TX 77060 USA Foreword Foreword A protective coating is the most efficient way to preserve steel structural strength. However, coatings will deteriorate over time during service. In order to maximize service life with reduced life-cycle cost, it is critical to maintain and

3、 repair the coating at an early stage, before accelerated corrosion due to coating deterioration occurs. It is a regulatory requirement for ships to comply with the IMO Performance Standards of Protective Coatings (IMO PSPC) for the goal, as a minimum, of 15 years of useful coating life in “GOOD” co

4、ndition. These Guidance Notes provide guidelines of coating maintenance and restoration of ballast tanks and cargo oil tanks in order to reach the PSPC goal as a minimum. IMO Performance Standards of Protective Coatings (IMO resolutions MSC.215(82) and MSC.288(87), hereinafter referred to as “IMO PS

5、PC”) set out coating standards for new construction of seawater ballast tanks and crude oil tanks. The coatings applied in accordance with those PSPC standards are expected to have a target useful coating life of 15 years, over which time the coating system is intended to remain in “GOOD” condition.

6、 However, the actual useful life will vary, depending on numerous variables including actual conditions encountered in service. The existing ABS Guidance Notes on the Application and Inspection of Marine Coating Systems published in January 2017 were developed to help the shipyards implementation of

7、 adopted IMO PSPCs for dedicated seawater ballast tanks and crude oil tanks during new constructions. These newly developed ABS Guidance Notes on Maintenance and Repair of Protective Coatings cover recommendations on maintenance and repairs of the PSPC coatings in service, which help the ABS Surveyo

8、rs, the shipyards, and ship operators assess the coating in-service maintenance and repairs. ABS Nautical Systems has been integrated with ships Hull Manager to assist ship operators to assess and monitor the in-service coating conditions to meet the requirement of the ABS HIMP Notation issued. This

9、 guidance is in line with Hull Manager of ABS Nautical Systems. The purpose of these Guidance Notes is to assist Surveyors, shipowners, ship managers, shipyards, flag Administrations, and other interested parties in maintaining the PSPC-related certification for compliance with PSPCs in relation to

10、coating condition assessment, maintenance, and repair of protective coatings of seawater ballast tanks and crude oil cargo tanks.

36、n with: Intermediate Surveys for tankers exceeding 5 years of age Special Surveys for all tankers It is recommended that all ballast tanks, especially for vessels over six years of age, are inspected at least annually by the crew. The condition of the coating in ballast tanks is assigned and categor

37、ized as “GOOD”, “FAIR”, or “POOR”, based on visual inspection and estimated percentage of areas with coating failure and rusty surfaces. The frequency of inspections for ballast tanks of single and double skin bulk carriers (according to Section 7-3-2 of the ABS Rules for Survey After Construction (

38、Part 7) and IACS UR Z10.2 and Z10.5) is shown in Section 4, Table 1.

A ballast tank or a combined cargo/ballast tank is

40、to be examined at subsequent annual intervals where the hard protective coating is found to be in POOR condition. I: Intermediate Survey: For vessels with 5-10 years, overall survey of a minimum of three (3) representative ballast tanks, including fore and aft peak tanks, are to be surveyed. Where a

41、 hard protective coating is found in POOR condition, the examination is to be extended to other ballast tanks of the same type. For vessels 10 years, overall survey of all ballast tanks is to be carried out no matter what coating condition. The tanks in question are to be internally examined at each

42、 subsequent Annual Survey. Thickness measurements are to be carried out as considered necessary by the Surveyor. A: Annual Survey for Vessels over 5 Years of Age: Ballast tanks or combined cargo/ballast tanks other than double bottom tanks, where a hard protective coating was found in POOR condition

43、 at previous surveys. Double bottom tanks with hard coatings in POOR condition and with substantial corrosion.

The frequency of inspections for ballast tanks for tankers and chemical carriers (according to Section 7-3-2 of the ABS Rules for Survey After Construction (Part 7) and IACS UR Z10.1, Z10.3

45、, and Z10.4) is shown in Section 4, Table 2.

48、be examined. The tank is to be examined at subsequent annual intervals where the hard protective coating is found to be in less than good condition. For vessels over 10 years, overall survey requirements of the previous Special Periodical Survey is needed. A: Annual Survey for Vessels over 5 Years o
