All work procedures and all materials shall meet the ABS Rules.

2.2.2 Unless otherwise stated in these work items, prepare and coat all new steel, disturbed steel, or otherwise required painted surfaces in accordance with References 2.1.2 and

2.1.4. If no paint system is identified in the item, then apply the appropriate coating system similar to the area being coated as identified in Paragraph 5.2 of Reference

2.1.2 except that the top coat shall match the surrounding area. Reference 2.1.2 may be amended with reference 2.1.5 when approved by the COR.

2.2.3 Provide two hard copies and an electronic copy of all Condition Reports in Adobe

Portable Document Format (.pdf).

2.2.4 Maintain a Quality Assurance (QA) TEST AND INSPECTION PLAN applicable to all work items, including all additional work items which are authorized by the Contracting Officer. Update QA TEST AND INSPECTION PLAN weekly and provide a copy to the COR 24-hours prior to the scheduled weekly progress meeting.

Include the following minimum information for each work item and additional work item:

a. Specification item and paragraph number

b. Component/Equipment name

c. Test or Inspection description

d. Acceptance Criteria

e. Quality Assurance Inspection Report

2.2.5 Maintain a separate Test Schedule. Update Test Schedule weekly and provide a copy to the COR 24-hours prior to the scheduled weekly progress meetings.

2.2.6 Develop, in consultation with the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Surveyor, a written survey schedule that lists the items to be inspected and the scheduled dates and times of the inspections. Submit the survey schedule to the COR within 48 hours after the start of the contract performance period. The survey schedule shall list all initial inspections required by the ABS Surveyor. In addition, the Contractor shall schedule the services of an ABS Surveyor as required by ABS for performing inspections of all new installations, hull modifications, tank inspections, gauging inspections, and load tests. The Contractor shall be responsible for paying all ABS surveys and inspections.

2.2.7 Provide a copy of ABS approved welding procedures and maintain a list of currently ABS qualified welders.

2.2.8 Weigh all materials and items removed, installed, or relocated on the ship. Provide a summary report to the COR indicating the total weight in pounds of the materials and items with a breakdown of their locations by space, deck, frame, distance from centerline, and height off of the deck. A sample Weight Report form is attached to these specifications.

2.2.9 Update Reference 2.1.3 to “as-built” drawing for modifications accomplished by these detail specifications.

2.2.10 Update all other referenced drawings in individual work items using AutoCAD or

AutoCAD LT programs for modifications accomplished by work items.

2.2.11 The Contractor may reduce ship’s draft by offloading liquid loads and/or ballasting in order to provide the required clearances under the keel during transit to and from the Contractor’s Facility. Oil tanks shall not be ballasted. After all other work is completed, reload and trim the ship to the as-found conditions. In the event fuel is off-loaded, the fuel shall be metered off and on through a filter de-watering system.

• Do not use high pressure water to clean the transducers or windows

f. Carefully inspect each transducer, transducer window, mounting hardware and seals for evidence of cracks, scrapes, blistering, corrosion or other anomalies that would indicate an unsound unit. Notify the COR immediately should any of these conditions are found.

g. Photograph and submit a report to the COR on each transducer and window cleaned. Photos should provide enough detail to clearly see the details of each transducer or window surface. Report should include transducer name, location, and condition remarks.

h. All transducers (except item 1 a , b, and c) are installed through to the hull in the Transducer room (4-23-0) located between frames 23 and 29, reference (a) The transducers and types are arranged as outlined in reference (b) and listed in table (x).

3.6.4 Requirements

3.6.4.1 The existing coating system is an Ameron Coating System applied during the ship’s dry docking; therefore all new paint shall be Ameron brand only for compatibility and in conformity with ship’s Paint Schedule.

3.6.4.2 Prepare and coat the entire underwater body with a “Maintenance System” in accordance with the requirements in Reference (a) and as follows:

3.6.4.2.1 Perform Ultra High Pressure Water Jetting (UHP WJ) to prepare the underwater body for a “Maintenance System”. Sweep and spot the entire underwater body to a WJ-4 visual surface preparation standard, in accordance with SSPC-SP 12. Ensure that all nozzles used in preparing the surface area of the underwater body are a sweeping type nozzle. Note: The term “water jetting” essentially defines the same process as “hydroblasting” or “hydrojetting”, which is not to be confused with “high pressure water washing”.

3.6.4.2.2 Remove all loose paint which is not tightly adhered to the hull entirely down to bare metal. Surface preparation of those areas shall be spot blasted to a WJ-2 visual surface preparation standard, in accordance with SSPC-SP 12. To those spot blasted areas of the hull, apply a “Complete System” in accordance with Reference (a). For bidding purposes, the contractor shall assume 8,000 square feet of the ship’s underwater surface area will require this “Complete System”.

3.6.4.2.3 Complete all potential structural steel repairs, access cuts, NDT testing, and hull plate inserts below the waterline, in other items of these specifications, prior to applying the underwater body coating system.

3.6.4.3 The complete coating system consists of:

3.6.4.3.1 Two coats, 5.0-6.0 mils DFT each, Amercoat 235 epoxy. The first coat may be any color, but the second coat shall be gray.

3.6.4.4 The maintenance coating system consists of:

3.6.4.4.1 To all water jetted areas, apply a complete 5-coat coating system same as specified above for the “complete system”. The first coat is to be applied as soon as practical after surface preparation and before any rusting occurs. In no case shall the surfaces be allowed to remain overnight without coating.

3.6.4.4.2 To all prepared surfaces that are not water jetted, apply two new coats, 4.0-5.0 DFT each of the same ablative antifoulant as existing (last three coats of one of the complete systems specified above). The first new coat shall be black and the second new coat shall be red, except in the boottopping both new coats shall be black.

3.6.4.5 Upon completion of all coatings in this item and removal of all covering materials, perform low pressure water washing of the hull and all other weather areas of the ship using clean fresh water, to clean all dust, dirt, and debris from the ship. Cover all deck drain openings and strainer plates to prevent grit and blast materials from clogging the ship’s deck drainage system. After all coatings and clean ups are complete, flush ship’s deck drainage system to ensure all debris has been removed.

3.6.5 Quality Assurance

3.6.5.1 Conduct joint inspection of hull with Ameron Coatings Company representative after hull has been high-pressure water-washed. Provide detailed “Paint Plan” in accordance with Reference (a), paragraph 4.1.2, to COR prior to starting surface preparation.
