History

Vessel was delivered from Aukra industrier, Marts 1988. On new building stage the Surface preparation and treatment for ballast tanks was as follows:

Block stage. High pressure freshwater wash all areas Sa. 2.5 all areas Clean all areas Application of Zinc-epoxy primer Dft. 25-50µ In situ. High pressure freshwater wash all areas Sa. 2.0 to all damaged primer and all new welding. Scallops etc. Clean all areas Apply 2 coats of coal tar epoxy. Stripe coat as necessary During a pre’docking survey in 2000 tanks showed widespread blistering and corrosion. The blistering followed by corrosion appears mainly due to two reasons. Zinc salts from the Zinc epoxy shop primer, when wet, the Zinc salts are extracted from the shop primer and creates blistering, which is the reason that most paint suppliers, today, do not recommend the use of Zinc epoxy shop primer in under water areas. Also the pattern of the blistering indicates a lack of ventilation when the following coats were applied during new building stage.

It was decided to “sandwash” and re’coat all affected areas during dry docking in 2000. Work carried out according to following Jobspecification:

1. H.P. fresh water wash all areas for repairs. 2. Sand wash all blistered and corroded areas, with pressure of 200-350 bar. 3. Yard Q.C. to check/rep. Areas. 4. Flush all areas for repair by means of hosing down the tank with freshwater. All areas for

coating to be 100% clean prior coating. 5. Dry the tanks by means of dehumidifiers. 6. Inspection by Owner. 7. Apply full coat to repair areas with Hempadur 1763 to a min. Dft. Of 200 mic. 8. Apply stripe coat of Hempadur 1763 to all weld seams, scallops and hard to reach places in

affected areas. 9. Yard Q.C. to check/rep. Areas. 10. Inspection by Owner. 11. Apply full coat to repair areas of Hempadur 1763 to a min. Dft. Of 200 mic. 12. Apply stripe coat of Hempadur 1763 to all weld seams, scallops and hard to reach places in

affected areas. 13. Yard Q.C. to check/rep. Areas. 14. Inspection by Owner. 15. Yard Q.C. to check/rep. Areas. Building up low Dft. In affected areas. 16. Inspection by Owner.
