The Britannia Group, in collaboration with Van Ameyde Marine, has published a useful guide to tanker ship coatings. Reliable and effective tank coatings play a crucial role in preventing water and corrosive agents from directly contacting metal surfaces, thereby reducing the risk of structural damage and preventing cargo contamination during transportation. Understanding the importance of tank coatings and their impact on claims and risk management is essential.
The guide details the main types of tank coatings, their fundamental properties, and their limitations. By following the guidelines, you can minimise risks, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance the safety and performance of your vessels.
