Книга на английском языке
These Guidelines focus on survey, maintenance and repair procedures of coatings.
Chapter 2 is primarily intended for Class surveyors in assessing the coating condition. Chapter 3 is primarily intended for Owners, Yards and Flag Administrations in connection with inspection, maintenance and/or repair schemes.
These Guidelines deal with ballast tanks and combined cargo/ballast tanks herein referred to as “ballast tanks” on tankers in service. They only cover maintenance and repair of coatings. Corrosion prevention systems other than coating are not covered, nor is the design, installation and maintenance of anodes, for such topics, clarification should be obtained by the Classification Society concerned. Steel repair is further described in other relevant IACS Rec. No. 47 “Shipbuilding and Repair Quality Standard”.
