Designing Ships Water Ballast Tanks to Improve the Performance of Coatings

Designing Ships Water Ballast Tanks to Improve the Performance of Coatings
Available for download

Currently the shipbuilding industry is seeking to minimize to improve corrosion protection provided to the structures which comprise the Water Ballast Tanks (WBT’s) of a vessel. At the design stage two factors could reduce the carbon footprint of the coating process through life material selection and optimizing the structural design to facilitate the coating process and maintenance processes. Thus, the design stage exerts considerable influence on these two elements and can determine the through life costs and environmental penalties of maintaining the structure.

Thus, the design stage exerts considerable influence on these two elements and can determine the through life costs and environmental penalties of maintaining the structure. This paper focuses on the material selection and optimization of structural design with specific application to complex structures in ships (Water Ballast Tanks). It will report on research work being carried out by some of the industry leading organizations in a 3 year program to look at how to improve the design of complex structures to reduce the total coating required, reduce waste and provide better through life performance with reduced maintenance and repair.

This paper presents an overview of systems available in the market today, their health and safety characteristics, performance capabilities and delivery mechanisms. Installation technologies are analyzed on their energy efficiencies, environmental impact, performance result consistency, ease of use and cost. The goal was to identify currently available systems; analyze concerns and limitations with these systems; and provide a basis for material selection and installation practices to achieve long-term expectations; while maintaining the utmost protection of humans, animals and the environment
