BALLAST TANK BROCHURE

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Water ballast tanks are essential for ship stability but are prone to corrosion, which can lead to high maintenance costs and affect vessel safety. International Paint provides certified coatings to address these issues and comply with regulatory standards.
Regulations
Since 1990, regulations from organizations like IACS and IMO have required corrosion protection for water ballast tanks due to past ship losses. Key regulations include:
  • 1990: OPA90 - Double hulls for new tankers in the USA.
  • 1991: IACS UR Z8 - Mandatory coating for newbuild water ballast tanks.
  • 1993: Marpol amendments - Double hulls for tankers.
  • 1993: IACS UR Z10.2 - Enhanced surveys for coatings in service.
  • 1998: SOLAS Amendment - Coating selection and maintenance guidelines.
  • 1998: IACS SC122 - Classification Society involvement in corrosion protection.
Corrosion Protection
Effective corrosion prevention involves selecting appropriate coatings, proper application, regular inspections, and maintenance. High-quality coatings can reduce maintenance costs and enhance vessel safety.
Product Range
  • Intershield 300: A light-colored, abrasion-resistant epoxy offering long-term protection and applicable at low temperatures.
  • Intergard 403/423: Tar-free epoxy coatings suitable for year-round application.
  • Interbond 808: A two-pack epoxy for onboard repairs, tolerant to surface and damp conditions.
  • Interprime 65: A single-pack repair system for economic maintenance.
Product Data
Intershield 300: Provides excellent corrosion protection, applicable at low temperatures, and is abrasion-resistant with a proven track record on over 2000 vessels.
Intergard 403/423: Offers long-term protection, applicable down to -5°C, and improves health and safety compared to coal tar coatings.

Intershield 300 after 5 years in service. Since 1990 water ballast tanks have become the subject of a number of regulations from bodies such as the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) and the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) as well as Indirect regulation from others including Government Organisations. One of the main reasons for increasing regulatory activity was the large number of ship losses that occurred in the 1980's where corrosion of the structure could well have been a contributing cause. • New Tankers to be of double hull structure to enable trading...

Corrosion Protection Prevention of corrosion is therefore one of the most important aspects of maintaining vessel safety plus preserving asset value. The success of any water ballast tank corrosion protection programme depends largely on: 1. The correct selection of the coating scheme at newbuilding 2. Correct surface preparation and application of the coating 3. Planned coating Inspection In service 4. Planned and effective coating maintenance throughout the vessels life Neglect or poor practice at any of these four stages can lead to coatings defects and the rapid onset of corrosion with possible...
