This publication provides guidance on technical matters related to the operation, maintenance and repair of corrosion protection systems of ships’ ballast tanks. Imagery compares effective and ineffective tank coatings and shows examples of key maintenance operations.

This publication provides good practice guidance on the selection and application of ballast tank coatings. Technical diagrams illustrate chemical bonding, highlighting methods to prevent corrosion of steel surfaces. Safety considerations are outlined to ensure crew avoid hazards during the coating process. The coating of new build ships is explained, with detail on the differences between seawater and freshwater tank maintenance.

These guidelines contain information and advice on technical matters related to the design, building, operation, maintenance and repair of the corrosion protection systems of ships’ ballast tanks.

The intent of these guidelines is to provide options and information to designers, shipyards and ship owners and to be used as a reference document for shipbuilding, ship repair and ship maintenance purpose.
