Transcription

1 SIS-PRECODE Innovative systems to prevent corrosion and decay of ship structures Research program co-financed by Italian Ministry for Universities and Research (MIUR) Project Manager: Giorgio Saletti RINA SPA BUSAN 30 October 2008

2 Start: June 2007 End: December 2010 BUSAN 30 October

3 Paint Manufacturers: API s.p.a. Genova BOERO BARTOLOMEO s.p.a. Genova Shipowners: ATLANTICA s.p.a. DI NAVIGAZIONE Napoli PERSEVERANZA s.p.a. di NAVIGAZIONE Napoli Shipyards: AZIMUT-BENETTI s.p.a. Livorno FINCANTIERI s.p.a. Trieste Classification Society: RINA s.p.a. Genova (Project Coordinator) BUSAN 30 October

4 Reference Market: A) Cruise vessels, ferries, ro-ro and bulkcarriers: Italy is the European leader for shipping companies, construction and repair shipyards B) Yachts and mega-yachts: Italy is the worldwide leader for shipyards BUSAN 30 October

5 International Scenario: More and more stringent enviromental requirements More and more stringent requirements for personnel safety in the work place BUSAN 30 October

6 Overall Goals: Reduce resistance (fuel consumption) 1% 2% Reduce pollution thanks to environmental friendly coatings Optimisation and standardisation of coating application & maintenance Time efficient verification and control of coating process Increase of shipyard personnel safety in the work place BUSAN 30 October

7 Reference Market A (ships): Goals: face the complex problem of ship structure protection from corrosion and decay in an exhaustive and uniform way identify and standardise new technologies and new coating cycles improve maintenability of not easily accessible areas (such as tanks and double bottoms) BUSAN 30 October

8 Reference Market B (mega yacht): Challenges: trade-off of safety and aesthetic performances support industry needs, by promoting competitiveness and safety Goals: development and validation of corrosion prevention systems include aestethical issues within corrosion systems performance requirements consider different structural materials (steel, fibreglass, alloys and composite materials) BUSAN 30 October

9 Work Packages (WP): WP1 Hull & Appendages WP2 Hull and Superstructures (mega yacht) WP3 Internal tanks intended for food products in bulk and/or dry) (liquid WP4 Internal tanks chemicals and ballast water WP5 Mechanical attack-resistant coatings BUSAN 30 October

10 Critical Issues in WP 1, 2 & 3: WP1: High environmental performance at comparable cost and protection WP2: Ensure efficient protection while keeping timeinvariant aesthetics WP3: Zero chemical solvents, zero dangerous volatile substances Basic materials complying with FAD rules BUSAN 30 October

11 Critical Issues in WP 4 & 5: WP4: Low content of organic solvent, no heavy metal, new ammino hardner, surface tolerant coating cycles. WP5: Polyurethane cycles with a low content of volatile substances. Resistance to mechanical attacks. BUSAN 30 October

12 Research Strategic Benefits: Paint manufacturers: develop and validate on-field innovative new coating finishing and protection cycles in compliance with Owner demands and Technical, safety and environmental Rules and Regulations Owners: more economical ship managenent: commercial speed not affected by the hull friction, less ship stop for hull cleaning, more enviromental friendly ship Shipyards: more efficient employment of new technology and new coating finishing and protection cycles Classification Society: development and calibration of a new set of Guidelines for the certification of all the coating finishing and protection cycles: from the surface preparation to the repair activities BUSAN 30 October

13 Part 1 => Research Development: Monitoring of Regulatory Framework developments & gaps. Guidelines, to be applied in: Shipyard Ship life (inspections) Repairs and maintenance Identification of new products matching Owners & Shipyards needs BUSAN 30 October

14 Part 2 => Experimental verification: Catalogue of Owners and Shipyards expectations Ad hoc combination of new products & coating cycles to meet expectations Long duration field tests of ad hoc combination Analysis of the results: Validate coating products Validate application techonologies Calibrate Guidelines BUSAN 30 October

15 Expected Main Results from WP1 and WP2: WP1 Hull and its relevant appendages Development of antifouling cycles tin free and with no toxic substances More than 5 year duration WP2 Finishing coating cycles (yacht and mega yacht) Development of finishing coating cycles applicable to all hull structural materials for yacht and mega yacht Reduction in solvent quantity Procedures for filling application on great surfaces Fair standards for process quality BUSAN 30 October

16 Expected Main Results from WP3, WP4 and WP5: WP3 Tanks for food: Development of coating cycles with no toxic emission Develoment of polymer-based coating cycles water dilutable WP4 Chemical attacks Development of coating cycles with neither organic solvents nor heavy metals Development of reliable coating protection Development of surface tolerant coating cycles WP5 Mechanical attacks: Development of polyurethane high thickness coating cycles BUSAN 30 October

17 Ongoing Activities: All WPs: Regulatory Framework Owner requirements Available products & technologies WP 3 and 4 => Chemical Attacks: Identification of the products Identification of the protection cycles Definition of performance tests Field tests to screen new products performances BUSAN 30 October
