IMS Develops Cost-Effective Plan for Partial Repair of Lining Systems

Partial tank lining failures such as blistering, rust, and deep pits are challenging to repair. Full refurbishment is time-consuming and extremely costly. Neglecting maintenance poses a threat to both substrate protection and cargo safety, while partial repairs without proper workmanship often result in premature coating failures such as detachment.
To reduce maintenance periods and significantly lower costs, IMS carefully surveys and precisely identifies repair areas of lining systems, leveraging years of repair experience, IMS has successfully developed a comprehensive maintenance plan for the partial coating failures of lining systems that greatly reduces both maintenance periods and costs.
Five years ago, IMS provided and supervised partial paint repairs for the cargo tanks of a world-renowned shipowner. Recent inspection results indicate that the condition remains good, with no significant failures detected. The shipowner incurred very limited costs while ensuring the cargo tanks, which have been in service for 10 years, remain in excellent condition.
