before starting painting, between each paint coat and after finishing painting. The Owner’s
and paint manufacturer’s representatives shall have the right to inspect and report on the
standard of surface preparation and quality of coatings at all stages of application, and to
request corrective measures should deviations from either the specification or good
practice be discovered.
The surface preparation and painting work of the sub-contracted machinery, equipment
and piping shall be carried out in accordance with this specification and in agreement with
and under control of the Builder.
Paint and coating guarantee
A paint coating guarantee of 36months from delivery date on shall be given by the Builder
for all painting works.
Blisters, peeling off from substrate or between coats, loss of adhesion, cracking or flaking
shall be considered as defects for all paint guarantees, even if they are not associated
with visible corrosion.
All paint guarantees shall include the supply of materials, surface preparation, paint
application and all associated costs and expenses.
Surface Preparation
General
Abrasive blasting materials used for surface preparation shall be cleaned, hard angular,
PH neutral, dry, paint manufacturer pre-approved, and shall have a chloride level of not
more than 20 ppm and a conductivity of less than 100 µSiemens/cm (ASTM D49-40).
Before application of any coatings, all surfaces to be coated shall be cleaned by applicable
means from visible salts and other contamination such as but not limited to dust,
moisture, fats, oils, soap solution, white deposits, soot from welding and cutting, chalk
marks, marking paints and other foreign materials.
Before pressure testing of tanks and compartments butt and seam welds shall be surface
prepared and coated with shop primer for rust prevention.
Any paint damage shall be made good at each coating stage before the application of
further coats.
Primary surface preparation
All surfaces of steel plates and sections shall have mill scale and rust removed prior to use
by means of shot/grit/quartz/sand/copper slag blasting to a bright metal (Sa 2.5) finish.
After blasting plates shall be primer coated immediately with one coat of 15 microns shop
primer. During fabrication the primer coat shall be touched up where damaged by
mechanical means or by welding.
The surface preparation work of the sub-contracted machinery, equipment and piping
shall be carried out in accordance with this specification and in agreement with and under
control of the Builder.
Secondary surface preparation
Before the first paint coat is applied in ballast, freshwater, foam and detergent tanks, all
sharp edges must be ground smooth with 3C edge preparation. In other areas 1C edge
preparation shall be applied for all sharp edges.
Burr caused by gas cutting shall be removed from all cut edges of structural members.
Welding slag and spatter clinging to surfaces on and around welding beads shall be
removed by hand scraper and/or disc sander. Sharp peaks shall be ground flush.
Gas-burnt areas and other damaged parts of shop primer and weld seams shall be shot-
blasted or mechanically cleaned to SIS St 2 or 3 and touched-up with zinc epoxy shop
primer for rust prevention.
When the extent of the rusted or damaged portion of a plate caused by welding, burning,
etc. exceeds 40% of the plate area, sweep-blasting should be used for the surface
preparation. Furthermore, it should be understood that when shop-primed surfaces are
corroded to such an extent that they cannot be adequately made rust free by sweep-
blasting, full re-blasting shall be applied.
Furthermore, if areas are poorly prepared or not painted to an acceptable standard of
finish, the specified overcoating is interval exceeded or the adhesion of subsequent coats
is jeopardized, then re-blasting in parts or in whole shall be performed.
In normal circumstances, secondary surface preparation grades shall be applied as
follows:
Area: Preparation Grade:
Shell bottom and topside St 3
Weather decks St 3
Deckhouse exterior St 2
Deckhouse and ER interior St 2
Ballast, fresh water detergent and foam tanks St 3
Lube oil, bilge, dirty oil tanks St 2
Fuel oil tanks St 1
Others St 2
For this surface preparation sand blasting or power tooling by disc grinder shall generally
be applied. The use of powered wire brushes shall be minimised.
Before over coating all surfaces shall be cleaned of oil, moisture, dust and other foreign
materials with thinner, freshwater, wire brush, or compressed.

be used only for touch-ups, minor repairs and markings.
In ballast, freshwater, foam and detergent tanks and in weather exposed areas one (1)
stripe coat shall be applied prior to each full coat. The stripe coating shall be applied to all
weld seams, edges, corners, rear ends of bulbs, fittings, and other locations not accessible
or suitable for spray gun application. Stripe coatings shall be applied by brush.
All steel structure areas where components are attached by screws and bolts shall be
stripe coated before the components are fitted.
During dry-docking before sea trials the underwater shell shall be high pressure water
washed and fresh water cleaned before the application of the last anti-fouling coat. Salt
measurement shall be performed before paint application. All defects shall be repaired
before the application of the final anti-fouling coat.
The water used for cleaning shall be clean, contamination free and have a conductivity of
less than 300 µS/cm.
Coating Quality Criteria
Painted visible surfaces shall be free of sags and runs.
The dry film thickness shall be measured after each coat to confirm adequate thickness.
