Our Servises
IMS delivers comprehensive marine coating technical services for shipowners worldwide.
IMS technical team is composed of the highest-level coating experts, certified by internationally recognized authorities. IMS consistently ensures customer satisfaction through our extensive practical experience, rigorous on-site supervision, superior craftsmanship, and tailored optimal solutions – delivering exceptional customer-centric services. Our comprehensive offerings include:
- Coating condition survey is to inspect and document the integrity of existing paint coatings, identify the types of coating failures, and assess the degree and extent of corrosion. This evaluation is critical for accurately determining the repair scope, maintenance procedures, techniques, and proper scheduling, ultimately achieving long-term corrosion protection in the most cost-effective manner.
- Hull coatings and surface roughness are critical factors in maintaining optimal hydrodynamics for significant fuel efficiency. Our dry-docking project experiences have demonstrated that IMS services are an essential component of the owner's team, consistently working to protect and advance the owner's interests.
- Cargo tank lining system is undoubtedly the most critical element in product and chemical tanker operations. The linings not only provide essential corrosion prevention but also ensure cargo safety, remaining fully compatible with and resistant to the IMO-class chemicals and products for which the vessel is certified. Tank coating is a highly systematic and complex process that demands constant expert supervision, rigorous quality control, proactive foresight, and continuous technical training and guidance throughout its entire duration of the process, as any procedural deficiencies can lead to premature coating failures and substantial losses for shipowners. Powered by robust technical knowledge and extensive on-site expertise, IMS coating specialists have consistently delivered successful tank lining supervision projects across all major specialty coating systems for owners worldwide.
- Ballast tank coating maintenance indeed presents particularly challenging and demanding issues. The constant immersion environment leads to surface contamination including soluble salts, sludge deposits, and high humidity conditions, coupled with the exorbitant costs of confined space operations... IMS Coating Experts utilize data obtained from coating condition surveys to pinpoint exact treatment areas - minimizing coating material consumption, equipment use, and manpower input, to assist shipowners in determining the optimal maintenance scope and procedures, ensuring the most cost-effective solutions for long-term corrosion protection of vessel structures, maintaining ballast tank coatings in “Good” condition at all times.
- Exterior coating maintenance is crucial for preventing corrosion, protecting structural integrity, ensuring compliance with maritime safety regulations, and preserving the aesthetic appeal over the vessel's lifespan. IMS specialize in providing professional and high-quality coating inspection and supervision service, restoring coating durability and appearance. Whether you're dealing with minor wear and tear or extensive damage, we offer customized solutions to meet your needs, ensuring your vessel remains seaworthy and compliant with maritime safety standards.
- Any coating system on a steel structure seldom breaks down uniformly over the years. A well-planned and executed onboard maintenance program can extend a vessel's life and reduce repair costs during dry-docking or lay-ups. However, maintenance is often performed at short notice without proper planning, resulting in inadequate coating performance that requires frequent, repeated repairs. To address this issue, IMS coating experts organize OBM seminars for Chief Officers, other officers, and deck crews. The seminars provide systematic training on planning onboard maintenance, ensuring a safe and efficient paint application process, and achieving long-term corrosion protection for steel structures.
