2 PagesOverview Transocean required to refurbish ballast tanks (over 12,000m2) from a soft coating to a hard coating finish as part of the classification. The application had to be environmentally friendly. Chemco was able to utilise Epo-chemTM RS 500P solvent-free, wet tolerant that can be applied without the need of dehumidification equipment making the project more cost effective. Challenge Classification Societies are insisting on a measurable DFT on top of steel for corrosion protection. Soft coating to be replaced with hard coating. Solution The Shipyard and Transocean were interested in Chemco 500 Series, a system that was 100% environmentally friendly for both the tank cleaning and the subsequent coating system. Outcome The tanks were high pressure
