Introduction

LNG Carrier Owners Manual l

Natural gas is a clean, abundant source of energy, and demand has

increased among electric and gas utilities. Natural gas is only

transported commercially through pipelines, however since it is a gas it

is very voluminous. In its liquid form (LNG), it occupies 1/600th of the

volume of the gas.

The only economically viable method of transporting liquefied natural

gas over long distances is via LNG carriers.

LNG is carried in specially insulated containment tanks aboard purpose

built vessels. It was reported, as of September 1st 2007, the LNG fleet

stood at 241 vessels comprising approx. 29 million metre3 of capacity.

The market differs from other bulk shipping operations in that it

involves a select number of specialised operators / owners.

In recent years, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)has been the focus of considerable interestas oil prices have risen.

Propeller Issue 12 July 2001

With an operational requirement

for the highest levels of corrosion

protection, many operators of

LNG newbuildings have chosen

International Paints Intershield300

for just about every area of

the vessel.

Utilising Intershield300

can positively influence

life cycle costs,

structural safety and

vessel asset value.


Introduction


The story so far...International Paint provides a comprehensive rangeof high performance products for todays LNGcarrier operators.


Introduction


A critical requirement for LNG carriers is

to arrive at their destination on time.

Loss of speed due to hull and/or

propeller fouling can result in not only

delayed arrival times but also increased engine

wear and fuel consumption. Fouling control is thus

a vital part of vessel operating efficiency but this

has traditionally proved difficult on LNG vessels

with even the best biocide containing antifoulings

succumbing to severe fouling attack.

Revolutionary Foul Release coatings, which rely on

high vessel speed and activity for their efficacy, are

proving themselves to be the ideal

solution for LNG hull and propeller

fouling control.

Introduction


IP News No 6 April 2005

Qatargas are delighted with the

excellent performance of International

Paints foul release coating system,

Intersleek700.

Mr Chafik Zitouni, Acting/Head of

Technical Shipping for Qatargas said:

In 2001 Qatargas decided

to use Intersleek from

International Paint on their

LNG ships. This followed a review of

alternative TBT-free antifoulings and

Intersleek was selected because it

had both the environmental and long

life performance that we required.

The resulting in service performance

of this innovative product from

International Paint has more than

matched our expectations and it

has now been applied to

7 out of 10 of our

LNG ships.

Commenting on this historic first contract,

Denis Thiard, Marine Key Account Manager for

International Paint (France) said:

We have had good working relations

with the Hyproc Shipping Company for

many years. International Paint supplied

products for their fleet maintenance contract three

years ago and when they commissioned these new

vessels in Japan, they wanted to use our products

again. A key element of securing this project was

International Paints global network, especially

important as the vessels will be deployed and

maintained in a different part of the

world to where they were built.

Introduction


Intersleek900 has just been

launched and to date

International Paint has coated

one gas carrier with the product - the LPG

tanker BW Captain operated by BW Gas.*

The company is confident that the coating

will be quickly taken up by LNG carrier

operators. So far, the hulls of 28 LNG

carriers have been coated with

International Paints predecessor,

Intersleek700.

Working closely with the worlds major vessel

operators and new construction yards,

International Paint recognised the importance

of high performance corrosion protection for

improved newbuilding productivity and long

term asset protection and in 1988 introduced

Intershield300 - a unique high performance,

light coloured abrasion resistant, aluminium

pure epoxy anticorrosion coating which is

suitable for application over prepared shop

primers.

Almost 20 years after its introduction,

Intershield300 is now firmly established as the

newbuilding industry benchmark for premium

performance, abrasion resistant, corrosion

protection. Also available for use on

maintenance and repair projects, the

Intershield300 in service results, independent

test data, track record and proven cost

benefits speak for themselves.

Intershield300 - is available in the newbuilding

and maintenance and repair sector as an

integral part of an overall corrosion protection

program designed to provide cradle to grave

protection for the ship.

Intershield300 has built an impressive and

unique track record of outstanding corrosion

protection on over 115 LNG carriers

worldwide.*

Intershield300Abrasion resistant aluminium pure epoxy


Long term corrosion protectionA combination of several factors go towards giving Intershield300 its

unique long term corrosion protection.

Abrasion resistance High film thickness Aluminium pigmentation Edge retention

Abrasion resistanceIntershield300 has been shown to exhibit excellent resistance to

abrasion both in service and through laboratory testing. Not all epoxies

however perform to the same high standard.

To allow direct comparisons between a range of epoxy technologies,

International Paint worked closely with the Marine Department at

Newcastle University, England, to develop a test method to compare

and evaluate coatings under realistic conditions.

Referred to only as Test X9, this unique test accurately simulates in

service damage in cargo holds and highlights very clear differences

between so called abrasion resistant coating systems in terms of

long term corrosion protection.

The 2006:MSC.215(82) Amendment to SOLAS

regulation l l-1/3-2 and regulation Xl l6.3

Performance Standard for Protective Coatings

(PSPC) for Dedicated Seawater Ballast Tanks of

all types of ships and Double-Side Skin Spaces

of Bulk Carriers is based on coatings

specifications and requirements which are

intended to provide a GOOD target useful

lifetime of 15 years from initial application.

The PSPC is only applicable to vessels at

newbuilding.

The PSPC is applicable for all vessels over

500GT that are contracted on or after 1st of

July 2008, or if there is no contract, the keels of

which are laid on or after 1st January 2009, or

if delivery is on or after 1st July 2012. However,

for tankers and bulk carriers contracted on or

after 8th December 2006, the requirements for

the coating system as laid out in the PSPC are

applicable immediately under the requirements

of the Common Structural Rules (CSR) that were

adopted on the 1st April 2006.

International Paint welcomes the introduction of

a standard that will help increase the service life

of coatings for water ballast tanks and directly

contributes to improved safety of life at sea.

With the long, successful and proven in service

performance of Intershield300, we feel confident

we have coating solutions to meet and exceed

the PSPC requirements.



Low film thickness Early film breakdown is often attributed to areas of low dry film

thickness (DFT). Intershield300 has been shown to provide

outstanding performance at low film thickness.

Using a very simple but highly indicative test method called a DFT

Ladder, it is possible to compare various coatings long term corrosion

protection performance in a relatively short period of time.

The results give the first indications of the superior long term

anticorrosive properties of Intershield300, properties which are

now backed up by a long and successful in service track record

(>18 years).

High film thicknessIntershield300 is ideally suited to shipyard application on complex

structures, especially water ballast tanks. International Paint

understand that DFTs of three to four times higher than specification

are typically unavoidable on complex areas such as welds and corners.

Common sense may suggest that more is better but this is not the

case with many coating systems. Excessive DFTs can give rise to

stress within the coating which can cause cracking, detachment and

subsequent corrosion.

To demonstrate the performance of Intershield300 under conditions

of high DFT, International Paint developed a realistic ballast tank

cycling test.*

The test clearly shows the resistance of Intershield300 to in service

cracking.

* Each system is applied to welded T pieces at 3 times the

recommended DFT. The test pieces are then cycled in natural

seawater followed by hot and humid atmospheric exposure

and checked at the end of every 2 month cycle for

cracking, detachment and corrosion.

Aluminium pigmentationThe aluminium flake pigmented Intershield300 provides outstanding

corrosion protection. The use of the aluminium flake improves the

coating barrier properties and decreases the rate of transport of water

and oxygen through the coating. Similar behaviour can be observed

with other flake like pigments such as glass flake and mica.

However, the real advantage of using aluminium flake instead of glass

flake or mica becomes evident when the coating is damaged and the

steel substrate is exposed. The aluminium pigment reacts with the

hydroxyl ions produced at the cathode in the corrosion cell. This

reduces the pH at the coating steel interface and decreases the rate

of cathodic disbonding. The benefit of using aluminium flake pigmented

epoxy coatings was clearly demonstrated in a study carried out by

SINTEF* in which the cathodic disbondment of aluminium and glass

flake pigmented coatings were compared. The aluminium pigmented

coatings show a large reduction in cathodic disbondment in the long

term test.

Edge retentionIntershield300 has excellent edge retention properties and is proven in

both laboratory testing and on vessels in service.

It has long been accepted that edges in water ballast tanks are

generally the first areas to experience coating breakdown. One of the

known causes of this is the poor edge coverage properties of the

coating. Correctly formulated edge retentive coatings mean that the

same dry film thickness can be achieved on edges as that applied to

flat surfaces.

The IMO has recognised the importance of treating edges and has

made recommendations to the basic coating system requirements of

the updated SOLAS Amendment CH II-1/Reg3.2 by stating that edges

in water ballast tanks are to be treated to a rounded radius of a

minimum of 2mm, or subjected to three pass grinding or at least

equivalent process before painting. Clearly choosing a coating system

with proven edge retention will help provide long term anticorrosive

performance.

Proof of performanceClearly, all products that claim to be abrasion resistant anticorrosives

are not the same. Only the unique, light coloured, aluminum pure

epoxy formulation of Intershield300 can deliver the very highest levels

of newbuilding productivity and in service performance - proven on

5,600 vessels including 115 LNG carriers to date. Long term asset

protection, maximised operating efficiency, controlled future

maintenance costs and optimised return on investment can all be

realities if Intershield:300 is specified and professionally applied initially

at the new construction stage and then during planned maintenance

throughout the vessels life.

Fouling control has traditionally proven difficult on LNG carriers with

even the best biocide containing antifouling succumbing to severe

fouling attack.

Foul release coatings are proving themselves to be the ideal solution

for LNG hull and propeller fouling control. Not only can they keep

hulls and propellers smooth and free of macro-fouling for extended

in service period of up to 60 months, but in addition, since they do not

use biocides to control fouling, they can be an integral part of an LNG

environmental management plan.

Fouling Control

The control of fouling is a vital part of vessel operating efficiency. Loss of speeddue to hull and/or propeller fouling can result in not only delayed arrival time, but also increased engine wear and fuel consumption.

Ghasha (National Gas Shipping Co. Ltd.)Intersleek700 applied in 2006.

Umm Bab (Maran GasMaritime) Intersleek700applied in 2005.

Propeller efficiency ismaintained with no in watercleaning required duringthe in service period.

Intersleek has anultrasmooth, slippery, easy clean surface.


Unlike antifoulings, Intersleek700 does not rely on biocides to control

fouling and provides an ultra smooth, slippery, low friction, surface onto

which fouling organisms have difficulty settling. Any organisms which do

settle, normally do so only weakly and can usually be easily removed.

The smoothness of the Intersleek700 system, compared to that of a

typical (biocide containing) Self Polishing Copolymer (SPC) antifouling,

decreases hull friction potentially enhancing fuel efficiency and speed.

Having excellent colour retention and being chemically durable means

there is no film degradation, polishing or other chemical change,

allowing extended dry docking intervals. The unique Intersleek717

Linkcoat allows direct application of the Intersleek700 system over

existing biocide containing SPC antifoulings in good condition, without

the need for full blasting.

The Average Hull Roughness of Intersleek700 has been measured on

full ships and has resulted in a recorded average of 100 microns, this

compares to a typical SPC antifouling roughness of 125 microns.

With proven average fuel savings of 4% and a corresponding reduction

in emissions, Intersleek700 is now firmly established as the industry

benchmark in silicone foul release technology.

In 1999, International Paint introducedIntersleek700, a revolutionary silicone basedfoul release coating system specificallydesigned for deep sea, high activity scheduledships which travel at 15-30 knots.

SummaryIn comparison to a typical SPC antifouling

system, Intersleek700 has:

4% predicted fuel saving 100 microns Average Hull Roughness 20% smoother than a typical

SPC antifouling coating

Intersleek now has a proven, hugelysuccessful (full ship) track record of over 200 vessels (including 24 LNG carriers),several of which have over 60 months in service performance.

Intersleek700Silicone elastomer foul release coating


Exceptionally smooth with unprecedented low levels of average hull

roughness combined with excellent foul release capabilities and good

resistance to mechanical damage means that for the very first time, all

vessels above 10 knots can now benefit from foul release technology.

Intersleek900 provides superior performance in comparison

to Intersleek700 on high speed / high activity scheduled ships.

The lower surface roughness, better coefficient of friction and

advanced surface energy characteristics improves fuel efficiency

and reduces slime build-up.

Intersleek900 is a new, unique patentedfluoropolymer foul release coating.Fluoropolymer chemistry represents the verylatest advances in foul release technology,significantly improving upon the performance ofthe best silicone based system, Intersleek700.

SummaryIn comparison to a typical SPC antifouling

system, Intersleek900 has:

6% predicted fuel and emission savings* 75 microns Average Hull Roughness 40% smoother than a typical SPC

antifouling coating

Control of maintenance costs Environmental compliance Freedom from biocide restrictions Control of treatment and disposal costs

Average hull roughness decrease Average Hull Roughness (AHR) is of critical importance. Vessels hulls

need to be as smooth as possible for maximum efficiency. If hull

roughness is allowed to increase, more power is required to push the

vessel through the water more power means more fuel more fuel

means more money and more emissions. Those vessels unable to

increase power to compensate for increased roughness will lose speed

resulting in slower transit times or late arrivals. Operators able to quote

higher speeds during charter contract negotiation may be able to

command higher rates.

Foul release Intersleek900 has been formulated to make it very difficult for fouling

organisms to adhere to the coated surface. The surface energy has

been engineered in such a way that a very unattractive surface is

presented to the fouling organism.

The excellent foul release properties of Intersleek900 means that even

during exceptionally long periods of inactivity, fouling attachment can

be removed by the vessel getting under way.

The better static resistance and improved foul release properties of

Intersleek900 means the product is suitable for use on newbuildings

during fitting out periods.

Intersleek900 has an average hull roughness of 75 microns and an opentextured surface* reducing the coefficient offriction by 38% giving a predicted fuel andemissions saving of 6%

Fouling Control

* Hull roughness on ships is measured as the

average maximum peak to lowest trough

height. The performance of foul release

systems is not solely a function of AHR but

also of wavelength. Intersleek900 has the

most open texture (compared to SPC

antifouling and Intersleek700) which means

the longest wavelength and lowest AHR

resulting in an exceptionally smooth surface


Resistance to slime fouling Certain owners enjoying the benefits of using silicone based Intersleek700

have noticed that slime build-up can occur. Intersleek900 technology has

combined advanced surface energy characteristics and an ultra smooth

surface to reduce slime build-up by 50%.

Gloss and applicationproperties Intersleek900s unique fluoropolymer technology uses additional

hydrogen bonding which dramatically increases the hold-up and sag

resistance removing the need for double applications and yard

re-working. This simplifies the application and leads to a smoother

finish with better appearance. Another advantage of Intersleek900 is

that is has also been formulated to reduce the amount of overspray

generated during application.

Abrasionresistance Current Intersleek700 users now know how

tough and flexible the product actually is,

disproving the misconception that silicone

coatings are softer and more prone to damage

than an SPC antifouling. Intersleek900 has

improved abrasion resistance, so ensuring less

damage to vessels in service,

Intersleek700. Note less slime on theIntersleek900 test patch.

Cosmeticappearance Ultra violet light from the sun degrades many

types of cosmetic finishes. These finishes tend

to lose gloss and are chosen for their lower

cost rather than long term durability.

Coatings build up Extensive and frequent repairs with inappropriate

coating systems will, with time, lead to coatings

build up with a possible loss of system integrity

and potential detachment.

Acrylic polysiloxane technology Interfine979For the LNG carrier, the condition andappearance of the topsides, external decksand superstructure is largely dependent onthe attitude of the operator concerned andthe coating system chosen at newbuilding.The appearance of the vessel is an importantadvertisement for the operator and is often a good indicator of the general standard ofvessel maintenance and operation.

Acrylic polysiloxane cosmetic finish


Polysiloxane coatings are usually modified in order to improve flexibility,

application properties and appearance. The first generation of

polysiloxane coatings were modified with epoxy resins. Interfine979 is

a second generation polysiloxane coating and is modified with an

acrylic resin.

Surface Preparation

Newbuilding: Where necessary, remove weld splatter and smooth

weld seams and sharp edges. Weld seams and damaged areas

should be blast cleaned to Sa2.5 (ISO 8501-1:2007) or power tooled

to St3 (ISO 8501-1:2007). If the shop primer shows extensive or

widely scattered breakdown, overall sweep blasting may be necessary.

Major Refurbishment, Repair or Upgrading of Approved

Schemes: Abrasive blast clean to minimum Sa2 (ISO 8501-1:2007)

or International Paint Hydroblasting Standard HB2M.
