Partial Tank Lining Refurbishment Enhances Operational Sustainability While Saving the Shipowner Significantly Repair Time and Costs

As part of the owner’s on-site team, the IMS Coating Expert carried out a systematic coating condition inspection of the cargo tanks immediately upon the vessel’s arrival at the yard. Based on the findings and thorough discussions with the shipowner, an optimal repair strategy was developed. Refurbishment of the tank bottom lining was determined to be sufficient to maintain the overall coating integrity, ensure long-term service performance, and minimize both repair time and associated costs.
Despite the shipyard’s lack of prior experience in specialized tank coating applications, the IMS Coating Expert provided detailed planning, effective scheduling, comprehensive training for yard personnel, full on-site supervision, and strict quality control. As a result, the vessel successfully departed on schedule, meeting the owner’s expectations.
