2. Objectives • To provide an overview of the IMO Coating Performance Standard for Water Ballast Tanks • To identify opportunities for • FP7 Projects • Business due to the requirements of the standard 376CPCE

3. Objective 1 • To provide an overview of the IMO Coating Performance Standard for Water Ballast Tanks …..but first we should look at who does what now…… The Parties involved 376CPCE

4. The Parties Involved • In all new building contracts today for building and painting a ship the parties involved are: 376CPCE

5. The Parties Involved • In all new building contracts today for building and painting a ship the parties involved are: • Ship-owner • Shipyard + Painting Contractor • Coating Manufacturer 376CPCE

6. The Parties Involved • In all new building contracts today for building and painting a ship the parties involved are: • Ship-owner • Shipyard + Painting Contractor • Coating Manufacturer • What does each party expect? 376CPCE

7. The Parties Involved • Ship-owner : 376CPCE

8. The Parties Involved • Ship-owner : • A vessel built to specification at an agreed price and delivered at the agreed time • Coatings to last as long as possible 376CPCE

9. The Parties Involved • Shipyard : 376CPCE

10. The Parties Involved • Shipyard : • To build and deliver vessels at the agreed price and time making maximum use of its assets • To make a profit in doing so ( in most cases!) • The painting contractor is also wanting to make a profit • Coatings to last at least 12 months…..!!?? 376CPCE

11. The Parties Involved • Coating Manufacturer : 376CPCE

12. The Parties Involved • Coating Manufacturer : • To supply coatings to the shipyard for use on the vessel that will be applied to an agreed specification and give the desired performance • Make a profit • Obtain repeat business after the vessel has been delivered via dry-dock supply, sea stores etc 376CPCE

13. The Parties Involved Do all the expectations match? 376CPCE

14. The Parties Involved Shipyard Ship-owner Productivity Performance 376CPCE

15. The Parties Involved • At the contract stage all parties agree to the painting specification which covers: • The Coating System • Surface Preparation • Environmental Conditions • Drying/curing/overcoating Times • Inspection Requirements + ? 376CPCE

16. The Parties Involved • At the contract stage all parties agree to the painting specification which covers: • The Coating System • Surface Preparation • Environmental Conditions • Drying/curing/over-coating Times • Inspection Requirements + A Guarantee 376CPCE

17. The Parties Involved • The Performance Standard for protective Coatings (PSPC) covers all of these aspects (except guarantee but has a target life of the system of 15 years) • So why the need for the PSPC? 376CPCE

18. The Parties Involved • The specification is in many ways a compromise: • It has to meet with the yards building procedures and productivity requirements • The shipyard is the customer of the coating manufacturers and they have to be competitive on standards as well as price • The PSPC is in effect making the compromise redundant 376CPCE

19. The Parties Involved • Roles and Responsibilities 376CPCE

20. The Parties Involved • Roles and Responsibilities • Ship-owner • Verifying that the agreed specification is met. • This usually means spot checks during the process or delegating the responsibility of all inspections to a ‘paint consultant’ 376CPCE

21. The Parties Involved • Roles and Responsibilities • Shipyard 376CPCE

22. The Parties Involved • Roles and Responsibilities • Shipyard • Carrying out the specification and ensuring the standards are met - usually via the QC department 376CPCE

23. The Parties Involved • Roles and Responsibilities • Coating Manufacturer 376CPCE

24. The Parties Involved • Roles and Responsibilities • Coating Manufacturer: • Supplying paint of the required quality • Giving advice when needed - NOT Supervision of the work • Verifying that the specification is being met which is important especially from a guarantee perspective 376CPCE

25. The Parties Involved • Guarantee: • Who gives it/them and to whom? • Against what? • Duration 376CPCE

26. The Parties Involved • Guarantee: • The coating supplier gives a guarantee to the shipyard for 12 months • The coating supplier may also give a further guarantee to the ship-owner of up to, typically, another (max) 4 years 376CPCE

27. The Parties Involved • Guarantee: • The shipyard gives a guarantee to the ship-owner for, usually, 12 months • The shipyard undertakes to correct any fault at their cost in that 12 months but will seek to recover any significant costs from the coating supplier 376CPCE

28. The Parties Involved • Guarantee terms: • Guarantees are normally against visible corrosion • They may also include a guarantee against blistering • They may only reimburse the costs of the coating - ‘paint only guarantees’ • They may include labour to effect the repair - ‘paint and labour guarantees’ 376CPCE

29. The Parties Involved • Guarantee • The cost of repairing a ballast tank is ~ US$60 per square metre • The price of paint supplied for repair is ~ 10% of the total • Consequently anything that improves standards in the ballast tank coating process is welcomed by the coating manufacturer! 376CPCE

30. The Parties Involved • Guarantee ……So will anyone give a guarantee beyond 5 years for a system with a target life of 15 years…? 376CPCE

31. The Parties Involved …… how will the Performance Standard for Protective Coatings alter what happens today….? 376CPCE

32. Coating Performance Standard Review • What is the proposed Coating Performance Standard ? • What are its aims ? • When will it enter force and who will it affect? • What are the main opportunities ? 376CPCE

33. Coating Performance Standard Review • The Performance Standard for Protective Coatings (PSPC) provides the technical requirements for protective coatings in dedicated sea water ballast tanks of all types of ships of 500 gt and greater and double sided skin spaces on bulk carriers of 150m and greater in length. • It will be mandatory and is intended to be included as amendments to SOLAS regs II-1/3-2 and XII/6 • It is also recommended to be applied where possible to items, not integral to the structure e.g. ladders, platforms 376CPCE

34. Coating Performance Standard Review • Solas II-1/3-2 currently requires seawater ballast tanks to be coated at new building and is mandatory. It does not specify details of the coating , inspection, etc. [Non-mandatory guidelines for the selection, application and maintenance of corrosion prevention systems are contained in Resolution A.798(19)] • Solas XII/6-3 extends the above to seawater ballast tanks and double skin spaces of bulk carriers of 150m in length and greater (entered into force July 2006) and refers to performance standards to be adopted in future 376CPCE

35. Coating Performance Standard Review • Aims of the PSPC • to provide a 15 year life for ballast tank coatings over which it is defined as in being ‘good’ condition. • ‘Good’ condition is defined in resolution A.744(18) and is “ minor rust spotting affecting < 3% and < 20% of welds and edges” • Better coating systems with reduced maintenance • Improved safety at sea 376CPCE

36. Coating Performance Standard Review • Aims of the PSPC 376CPCE

37. Coating Performance Standard Review • Aims of the PSPC 376CPCE

38. Coating Performance Standard Review • Aims of the PSPC 376CPCE

39. Coating Performance Standard Review • Aims of the PSPC • Further work is underway to develop a draft standard for: • Void spaces of all ships • Cargo tanks of oil tankers • Guidelines for maintenance and repair for protective coatings • Standards for protection of permanent means of access - not part of structural strength elements 376CPCE

40. Coating Performance Standard Review • Entry into force 376CPCE

41. Coating Performance Standard Review • Entry into force • The proposals were adopted at the Marine Safety Committee (82) meeting on December 8th 2006 in Turkey 376CPCE

42. Coating Performance Standard Review • Entry into force • The proposals will apply to the aforementioned types of vessels: • For which the building contract is placed on or after 1st July 2008, or • In the absence of a building contract, the keels of which are laid or which are at a similar stage of construction on or after 1st January 2009, or • The delivery of which is on or after 1st July 2012 376CPCE

43. Coating Performance Standard Review • Entry into force • However IACS are applying the proposals on ratification to tankers and bulkers under the Common Structural Rules (CSR) from December 8th 2006 • It is expected that the first new building classed under the above rules will begin building in the second half of 2007 376CPCE

44. Coating Performance Standard Review • Affected Parties 376CPCE

45. Coating Performance Standard Review • Affected Parties • Ship-owners/operators of all vessels > 500 gt and bulkers in the prescribed size range • New building shipyards/contractors • Coating manufacturers • Administration or Recognised Organisations 376CPCE

46. Coating Performance Standard Review • Ship-owners/operators of tankers and bulkers in the prescribed size range: • It is expected that new building prices will increase by up to 10% • Increased documentation to be on board in the form of a Coating Technical File (CTF) which will, in future, also record maintenance carried out but… • Reduced maintenance and through life costs should be a benefit 376CPCE

47. Coating Performance Standard Review • New building Shipyards: • Construction times are likely to increase with potential associated drop in productivity • Increased manpower may be required with increased inspection times likely • Possible investment in new facilities? • Extra training for QC staff to appropriate standard (Frosio level III (red), NACE II or equivalent) • Yards are responsible for the production of the CTF 376CPCE

48. Coating Performance Standard Review • New building Shipyards: • Today the surface preparation and coating process is considered by most shipyards as a ‘bottleneck’ in the process • The coating of a block can take ~ 5+ days during which the block is effectively ‘dead’ • The ballast coatings may only be 2 coats but an antifouling scheme may consist of up to 6 coats 376CPCE

49. Coating Performance Standard Review • New building Shipyards: • Steel Preparation • Inspect • Surface Preparation • Clean • Inspect • Coat • Inspect • Stripe • Coat • Stripe • Inspect The time to carry out this work may increase 376CPCE
