This guide can assist ship’s staff in the assessment of tank, hold and space coatings in order to determine compliance with the rules and regulations of the classification of ships.
- Handles definition of tank coating conditions in good/fair/poor classifications
- IACS methodology to divide tanks into a number of smaller 'areas under consideration, which can easily be identified
- Schematics to help defining area determination, percentage of coatings breakdown for specific ship structures and a comparison of rust scales
Full colour pictures of tank coatings in various conditions and a section that describes and shows the hotspots for corrosion and other common defects is also part of the guide. The last section contains sketched indicating common nomenclature and terminology applied to typical structure of major ship types.
