    Section 38 - Corrosion Protection D 38 - 1

    Section 38

    Corrosion Protection

    A. General Instructions

    1. Field of Application

    1.1 This section deals with the corrosion protection

    measures specified by BKI with respect to seagoing steel

    ships. Details of the documentation necessary for setting

    up the corrosion protection system are laid down herein

    (planning, execution, supervision).

    1.2 Corrosion protection for other types of ship as well

    as other kinds of material, e.g. aluminium, is to be agreed

    separately in consultation with BKI.

    1.3 Requirements with respect to the contractors

    executing the work and the quality control are subject to

    the conditions laid down in Section 1, N.1.1 and 1.2.

    1.4 Any restrictions which may be in force concerning

    the applicability of certain corrosion protection systems

    for special types of vessels (e.g. tankers and bulk carriers)

    must be observed. BKI must be consulted when clarifying

    such issues.

    1.5 Supplementary to this section, Regulations forCorrosion Protection and Coating Systems contain further

    comments and recommendations for the selection of suitable

    corrosion protection systems, as well as their professional

    planning and execution.

    B. Shop Primers

    1. General

    1.1 As a rule, shop primers are used to provide protectionfor the steel parts during storage, transport and work

    processes in the manufacturing company until such time

    as further surface preparation is carried out and the

    subsequent coatings for corrosion protection are applied.

    1.2 Customarily, coatings with a thickness of 15 m

    to 20 m are applied.

    Under normal yard conditions, this should provide corrosion

    protection for a period of approx. 6 months.

    1.3 The coating must be of good resistance to withstand

    the mechanical stresses incurred during the subsequentworking of the steel material in the shipbuilding process.

    1.4 Flame-cutting and welding speed are not to be

    unduly impaired. It must be ensured that welding with all

    welding processes customary in the building of ships

    can be conducted without impermissibly impairing the

    quality of the weld seam, see the Rules for Welding,

    Volume VI, Section 6.

    1.5 Due to the possible strain to the system presented

    by cathodic protection, seawater and chemicals, only shop

    primers are to be used which are alkali fast and not

    hydrolyzable.

    1.6 The suitability and compatibility of shop primer

    for use in the corrosion protection system is to be guaranteedby the manufacturer of the coating materials.

    2. Approvals

    2.1 Only those overweldable shop primers may be used

    for which the Society has issued a confirmation of accept-

    ability based on a porosity test in accordance with the Rules

    for Welding, Volume VI, Section 6.

    C. Hollow Spaces

    1. General

    1.1 Hollow spaces, such as those in closed box girders,

    tube supports and the like, which can either be shown to

    be air tight or are accepted as such from normal shipbuilding

    experience, need not have their internal surfaces protected.

    During assembling, however, such hollow spaces must be

    kept clean and dry.

    D. Combination of Materials

    1. General

    1.1 Preventive measures are to be taken to avoid contact

    corrosion associated with the combination of dissimilar

    metals with different potentials in an electrolyte solution,

    such as seawater.

    1.2 In addition to selecting appropriate materials, steps

    such as suitable insulation, an effective coating and theapplication of cathodic protection can be taken in order

    to prevent contact corrosion.

    Section 38 - Corrosion Protection F38 - 2

    E. Fitting-Out and Berthing Periods

    1. General

    1.1 For protection against corrosion arising from stray

    currents, such as those occurring due to inappropriate direct

    current electrical supply to the ship for welding or mains

    lighting, as well as those arising from direct-current supplies

    to other facilities (e.g. shore cranes) and neighbouring ships,

    the provision of (even additional) cathodic protection by

    means of sacrificial anodes is not suitable.

    1.2 Steps are to be taken to prevent the formation of

    stray currents, and suitable electric drainage is to be

    provided.

    1.3 Particularly in the event of lengthy fitting-out periods,

    welding rectifiers are to be so arranged that stray currents

    can be eliminated.

    F. Corrosion Protection of Ballast Water Tanks

    1. General

    1.1 All seawater ballast tanks having boundaries formed

    by the vessels shell (bottom, outside plating, deck) must

    be provided with a corrosion protection system.

    1.2 The following corrosion protection systems are to

    be used:

    S coating,

    S coating and cathodic protection,

    2. Coatings

    2.1 General

    2.1.1 The coatings must be, in accordance with the

    manufacturers specifications, resistant against sea-water,

    coastal water, harbour water and the substances they may

    contain.

    2.1.2 The characteristics, composition and field of

    application of a coating system must be documented, i.e.

    prescribed by the manufacturer of the coating material.

    Details of the coating material, how it is to be processed

    and its suitability for the coating system must be contained

    in the product data sheet.

    2.2 Approvals

    2.2.1 For new buildings, the applied coatings and coating

    systems must be approved by BKI. The approvals must

    be obtained by the manufacturers of the coating materialsfrom BKI Head Office.

    2.2.2 Approved coatings and coating systems are compiled

    in a list (Approved Coatings for Newbuildings). The current

    list is obtainable from Head Office.

    2.2.3 Approval does not constitute confirmation of the

    suitability and compatibility of the coatings in the corrosion

    protection system. These points are to be ensured by either

    the yard or the manufacturer of the coating materials.

    2.3 Surface Preparation

    2.3.1 The surface must be prepared according to the

    instructions of the manufacturer of the coating material.

    2.3.2 Surface preparation is subject to specifications in

    the product data sheet and must correspond to a valid surface

    quality grade, e.g. SIS 055900, DIN 55928, Part 4, or ISO

    8501 1-4.

    2.3.3 Slag and loose weld spatters must be removed beforethe coating is applied.

    2.3.4 Welded or otherwise attached accessory material

    (tack plates, lugs etc.) must be completely integrated into

    the corrosion protection, or otherwise removed.

    2.4 Application

    2.4.1 The process of application is to be carried out

    according to the coating manufacturers instructions.

    2.4.2 During application the ambient conditions and

    procedural instructions are to be complied with, inaccordance with the details specified in the manufacturers

    instructions and in the approvals.

    2.4.3 Surface areas which are obstructed and are thus

    inadequately exposed to the spraying, exposed edges and

    corners, as well as weld seams, must be stripe coated in

    advance to achieve a sufficient coating thickness.

    2.5 Dry Film Thickness

    2.5.1 The dry film thickness of the coating systems must

    be in accordance with approvals and correspond to aminimum of 250 m.

    2.5.2 The prescribed coating thicknesses represent the

    minimum coating thickness which must be maintained in

    all cases.

    2.6 Documentation

    2.6.1 The work processes involved in setting up a coating

    system as well as the coating materials to be used must be

    laid down in a coating plan.

    2.6.2 The coating plan for ballast water tanks must be

    submitted to BKI for approval.

    2.6.3 The coating protocol is to be compiled in such a

  • 8/14/2019 BKI Vol2_Section38

    3/5

    Section 38 - Corrosion Protection F 38 - 3

    way that all work steps executed, including surface

    preparation and coating materials used, are documented.

    2.6.4 This documentation is to be compiled by the coating

    manufacturer and/or the contractor executing the work

    and/or the yard. An inspection plan must be agreed to

    between the parties involved. The papers pertaining to the

    documentation must be signed by these parties. On

    completion of the coating system, the signed papers

    constituting the documentation are to be handed to the

    surveyor for acceptance. The documentation is to contain

    the following data:

    S location and date,

    S ship and the tanks treated,

    S manufacturers specifications for the coating system

    (number of coatings, total coating thickness,

    processing conditions),

    S product data sheet for the coating and BKI approval

    number,

    S contractors and persons carrying out the work,

    S surface preparation (procedure, working materials,

    ambient conditions),

    S condition of surface prior to coating (cleanness,

    roughness, existing primer, surface quality grade

    achieved),

    S application (procedure, number of coatings),

    S

    application conditions (time, surface/ambienttemperature, humidity, dew point, ventilation),

    S the date the tanks were first ballasted is to be

    recorded,

    S report of coating thickness measurement and visual

    inspections,

    S signatures of involved parties (yard, coating manu-

    facturer, work contractor).

    2.6.5 Coating protocols already in existence and used by

    coating manufacturers, work contractors, yards and ship

    owners will be accepted by BKI, provided they contain

    the above data and are signed by all parties involved. Any

    missing data is to be furnished.

    3. Coatings combined with Cathodic Protection

    3.1 Coating

    3.1.1 In the case of coatings used in combination with

    cathodic protection, the provisions under 2 shall apply.

    3.1.2 In addition, the coatings must be resistant against

    the cathodic protection, i.e. the coatings must not exhibit

    any impairment of their purpose up to a potential of 1200mV against the copper/copper-sulphate electrode. Proof

    of resistance against cathodic corrosion protection can be

    provided in accordance with recognized standards, e.g.

    DIN 50928, or equivalent.

    3.2 Cathodic Protection

    3.2.1 General

    For the cathodic protection of ballast water tanks in

    combination with coatings, sacrificial anodes made of zinc

    or aluminium are used. Tables 38.1 and 38.2 contain

    recommended alloy compositions for conventional

    aluminium and zinc anodes.

    Zinc and aluminium anodes of differing chemical

    composition may also be used, provided proof of the

    cathodic protection ability is provided.

    Zinc anodes may not be used in the event that operating

    temperatures in excess of 60 C can be expected.

    Impressed current systems are not permitted in ballast water

    tanks.

    Connections between the anodes and the surface to be

    protected must provide good conducting properties.

    The anodes are therefore to be welded on, wherever

    possible. In exceptional circumstances, where bolting on

    the anodes offers the only practicable alternative, an

    adequate and durable metallic conducting connection must

    be provided, e.g. cable connection.

    Sacrificial anodes are not to be coated over and must be

    free from dirt and other impurities.

    3.2.2 Protection Current Requirement

    For coated surfaces a protection current density of

    0,02 A/m2

    shall be applied.

    In the event that ballast water tanks may be subjected to

    higher temperatures, for instance due to adjacent heating-oil

    tanks, the protection current density is to be increased as

    follows:

    For each C over 25 C by 1 mA/m2

    The protection period must be designed to last for a

    minimum of 5 years.

    Deviations from the values stated for protection currentdensity and protection period could be accepted if a written

    confirmation of the owner exists.

    3.2.3 Anode Weight

    The required total anode weight is calculated according

    to:

    mG = [kg]AG JS tS

    Qg

    where:

    AG = the total area to be protected in [m2

    ]

    JS = protection current requirement in [A/m2]

    according to 3.2.2.

  • 8/14/2019 BKI Vol2_Section38

    4/5

    Section 38 - Corrosion Protection G38 - 4

    tS = protection period in [h]

    Qg = electrochemical efficiency of the anode material

    in [Ah/kg]

    The electrochemical efficiency of the anode material is to

    be taken out of the manufacturers specification.

    3.2.4 Arrangement of Anodes

    The arrangement of the anodes in the tank is to be such

    that the required protection current density can be achieved

    in all areas.

    The number and size of the anodes depends on the structuraldesign and the calculated current output of the anodes. When

    compiling the anode plan, the current output is to be taken

    into account for the calculation.

    An increase in the number of anodes required may be

    necessary in the following circumstances:

    S when frequently low filling levels lead to a limitation

    in the area effectively protected by the anodes,

    S when internal structures attenuate the effective

    current for certain areas of the tank,

    S when increased current densities are necessary for

    the protection of more noble materials, e.g. internalsmade of stainless steel.

    3.2.5 Documentation

    The documentation of the coating must be in accordance

    with 2.6. In addition, the papers concerning the design and

    computation of the cathodic protection must be submitted

    for perusal. An anode plan need not be submitted.

    G. Corrosion Protection of Cargo Holds

    1. General

    1.1 On bulk carriers, all internal and external surfaces

    of hatch coamings and hatch covers, and all internal surfaces

    of the cargo holds, excluding the flat tank top areas and

    the hopper tanks sloping plating approximately 300 mm

    below the side shell frame and brackets, are to have an

    effective protective coating (epoxy coating, or equivalent),

    applied in accordance with the manufacturers recommend-

    ation. In the selection of coating due consideration shall

    be given in consultation with the owner to the intended

    cargo and conditions expected in service.

    1.2 The coating used must be approved by the

    manufacturer for application in cargo holds.

    1.3 The coating manufacturers instructions with regard

    to surface preparation as well as application conditions and

    processing must be adhered to.

    1.4 The minimum thickness of the coating without

    antifouling shall be 250 m, resistant to cathodic protection

    in accordance with recognized guidelines and suitable for

    mechanical underwater cleaning.

    2. Documentation

    system and the coating materials to be used must be

    contained in the coating plan.

    2.2 A coating report is to be compiled in such a way

    that details of all the work processes executed, including

    the surface preparation as well as the coating materials used,

    are recorded.

    2.3 This documentation is to be compiled by the coating

    manufacturer and/or the contractor executing the work

    and/or the yard. An inspection plan must be agreed to

    between the parties involved. The papers pertaining to the

    documentation must be signed by these parties. On

    completion of the coating system, the signed papers

    H. Corrosion Protection of the Underwater Hull

    1. General

    1.1 Vessels intended to be assigned the class notation

    IW (In-Water Survey) shall provide a suitable corrosion

    protection system for the underwater hull, consisting of

    coating and cathodic protection.

    1.2 Coatings based on epoxy, polyurethane and polyvinyl

    chloride are considered suitable.

    1.3 The coating manufacturers instructions with regardto surface preparation as well as application conditions and

    processing must be observed.

    a minimum film thickness of 250 m, shall be compatible

    to cathodic protection in accordance with recognized

    standards, and shall be suitable for being cleaned underwater

    by mechanical means.

    1.5 The cathodic protection can be provided by means

    of sacrificial anodes, or by impressed current systems. Under

    normal conditions for steel, a protection current density

    of at least 10 mA/m2 must be ensured.

    1.6 In the case of impressed current systems, over

    protection due to inadequately low potential is to be avoided.

    A screen (dielectric shield) is to be provided in the

    immediate vicinity of the impressed-current anodes.

    1.7 Cathodic protection by means of sacrificial anodes

    is to be designed for one dry-docking period.
