Introduction to how coatings actually work!
• Prevents ions (the electrolyte) to move along the coating/steel interface
• Does:• Act as barrier to ions (salts, etc.)
• Hydrated sphere of influence
• Does NOT:• Act as barrier to water
• Vapor transmission rate
• Act as barrier to oxygen• Gases passes
• Do not believe the fairytales!!!
• The prerequisites for corrosion:• Anodic site• Cathodic site• Electron pathway• Electrolyte

How Coatings Actually stick!
• Organic coatings bonds by primarily by “hydrogen bonding” (Van Der Waals attraction ..)
• Need intimate contact to active sites on the steel
• Inorganic zinc coatings (and some adhesion promoters in organic coatings) bonds primarily covalently
• Need intimate contact to clean steel to bond

How Coatings Fail!
• Blistering• Osmosis
• Cracking• Shrinkage
• Delamination• Shrinkage• Swelling
• Through rusting• Ionic penetration
• Main cause to late loss of life• Interfacial changes, part of aging
• The interface matters!• Cleanliness at application• Painting over salt = loss of life• Painting over rust = loss of life

Typical PSPC “Good” Result
• 12 years of age, top class ballast tank coating
• 15 years target useful life design per PSPC
• Not perfect but clearly GOOD by MSC.1-circ/1330.

Corrosion and Fouling Two Curses for a Ship's Hull – Antwerp Maritime Academy
Typical PSPC “Not So Good” Result
• Ship 11 years old, with 2nd
class ballast tank coating
• Again 15 years target design service life intent per PSPC
• Result not good, several tank rated FAIR, now upgraded at a high cost back to GOOD.

Ballast Tank Coatings – “The Very Good”
• Things can go well:• Series of chemical tankers all
approaching mature age:• No tanks recoated, saving $millions• All tanks in an excellent condition at
ages from 18 to 21 years (99.9% intact)
• Reasons for the success:• Good coating selection• Appropriate (Owner driven)
specification • TSCG Guide – 25 years
• Honest SY execution• Sensible M&R strategy

TSCF Guidelines to Selection and Application of Ballast Tank Coatings
• Guidelines for Ballast Tank Coatings Systems and Surface Preparation, 2014 Revised Edition
• Provides guidance and advice on technical matters related to the design, building, operating, maintenance and repair of the corrosion protection systems of ships’ ballast tanks.
• Provides options and information for designers, shipyards and ship owners and
• Is specific enough to be used as a reference document for shipbuilding, ship repair and ship maintenance purposes.

Ballast Tank Coatings – The Bad
• Things can go bad:• Series of crude oil tankers at less
than 12 years of age:• Coating failing by shrinkage
• All tanks needed SY intervention, and onboard coating crews
• Reasons for the poor result:• Poor coating selection
• SY standard specification
• Average SY execution
• Poor M&R strategy

Ballast Tank Coatings – The Ugly
Things can get real ugly:• Examples of real serious trouble when
the tanks are not in a GOOD condition by ESP:• Unsafe tanks • Risk for loss of cargo• Problems trading the ship
• The fact is that this no longer acceptable on the market
• The IMO PSPC is helping to alleviate this:• 15 years life• Minimalistic• TSCF gap analysis

The TDS – What Does It Tell You?
• Solids by volume ratio – SVR
• Mixing
• Surface preparation
• Application conditions
• Colors
• Safety aspects
• Tip size
• Potlife, etc.
• Lots of good information!
• Often controlled by the commercial department.

The TDS – What Does It Tell You?
So apply under any condition, and on any surface preparation, and get the same result??

The MSDS – What Does It Tell You?
• Part A
1-Methoxypropan-2-0lExtremely water soluble - osmosisPolyamideEster – anodes?

The MSDS – What Does It Tell You?
• Part BEthylenediamineA CO2 scavenger, and a curing “kicker” for cold temp coatings- Amine carbazationButanolWater soluble solventOsmosis
These are just some examples! Other species to look for:Benzyl alcohol, nonyl-phenol –shrinkage during aging, etc.

Ballast Tank Coatings – Risk by cold cure
• To apply the coatings at lower temperature during construction; • Is convenient
• Is a compromise, and has a cost• Increase solvent retention
• Decreased wetting
• Competing reactions – good and bad
• Leads to shrinkage related coating delamination and cracks
• Resulting in expensive M&R and even premature recoating

Ballast Tank Coatings – Excellent Analysis
Also worth noting is ISO 19030 –“Measurement of changes in hull and propeller performance”has been published a promise to help owners properly measure hull performance :• Help keeping paint ,manufacturers honest• Help operators optimize hull cleaning interventions• Reduce CO2 emissions• Reduce fuel usage

Water Absorption/Desorption StudiesShrinkage Cracking Risk• ASTM D570 modified, a low cost test that gives interesting values
• Can be one tool to test coatings in the selection process

Other Cracking Related Research

Coating deflection as a result of coating shrinkage
Curing shrinkage valueThe resultant of 2 or more stress vectorsis always greater than either of the stress vectors

Ballast Tank Coatings – New Construction
• Vital parameters:– Coating selection– Grit blasting– Vacuum cleaning– Temperature control– Humidity control– Pre-striping– Proper mixing– Thickness control– Inspection– Record keeping– Final cure– Seawater testing

Ballast Coatings Maintenance Plans
• Before ship is contracted the management must state what their expectations are;• Service life of vessel• Expected end of life condition
• Using NB application records and condition data;• Map alternative strategies to meet the
expectations• Calculate NPV to ascertain the most cost
effective path• Develop a Ballast Tank Coating
Maintenance Plan to be a guide for how to meet the expectations:• High level• Subject to annual updates
No Plan = Chaos!

Antifouling – the issues, and solutions –The state of antifouling solutions
• Solutions:• Biocide containing anti-fouling paints
• High quality hydrolysis based polymers• Low quality natural or synthetic pine rosin
based• Hybrids
• Biocide free hull coatings• Fouling release• Surface Treatment Coatings
• Hull fouling surveys during propeller polishing events
• Hull cleaning• Hard cleaning• Soft cleaning

Antifouling – the issues, and solutions -Biofouling Management Plans
• Biofouling Management Plans;• Should have been onboard since a few
years• Mandatory by USCG• Must meet EPA requirements• Should by harmonized to satisfy IMO
guidelines, and:• California CSLC regs (1/1/2017)• Australia, New Zeeland, etc
• ABS Template a good start• Stays onboard, kept updated by ship• Auditable when the ballast tank
convention enters into force September 2017

General fabric maintenance –Example of a poor strategy• With a poor coating system to start and a non-optical
M&R strategy the consequence is poor
• This ship was only 12 years young
3/4/2017 Johnny Eliasson 26
Corrosion and Fouling Two Curses for a Ship's Hull – Antwerp Maritime Academy
General fabric maintenance –Example of a good strategy
• With a good costing system and an optimal M&R strategy the result can be very good
• This ship has a much more complicated deck to maintain, but still after 18.9 years (the age when picture was taken) she in an excellent condition

Impressed Cathodic Current Protection (ICCP) – what can go wrong
Malfunctioning ICCP “blew” the paint off the hull

Guarantees and Warranties
• Shipyard warranties;• DD 6 months• NB 1 year• Few exclusions but short duration
• Coating manufacturers guarantees;• Define responsivities • Simple resolution to issues• Lots of exclusions• Burden of proof on the Operator
Is it really in the Operator’s interest to sign the paint suppliers warranty documents?
• Shipyard warranties;• 2 % breakdown allowed• Not much risk to shipyards• Often signed over to paint makers
• Paint makers’ warranties:• Designed to protect the paint vendor• Lots of confusing exclusions and
restrictions.
Consumer laws offer good protection!• The supplier is the “expert”• The end user the “innocent user”• Burden of proof
Actual situation

Conclusion
• All is well when optimization guides us considering:• NB coating systems and application
• Maintenance strategies
• Crew support
• Antifouling paint and hull performance
• Responsibilities
Target = Improved Quality @ Lower Cost
We serve the common good!
