T-ATS Preservation Instructions

1. SERVICE REQUIREMENTS

All paints applied to the vessel shall be prepared and applied to the surface in accordance with the paint system manufacturer’s requirements and be applied to the satisfaction of the manufacturer’s supplied paint representative. 5

a) Antifouling Systems

1) Underwater hull coating shall use two coats of epoxy anticorrosive with three coats ablative antifouling

2) Cathodic Protection Systems: Impressed Current Cathodic Protection 10

System anodes require special electrically resistant coatings in accordance with the equipment manufacturer’s requirements.

b) Hull and Topsides Paints

1) MSC uses a high performance topside coating(s)/system comprised of inorganic zinc primer, epoxy anticorrosive and polyurethane topcoat. 15

c) Tank Paints

1) Potable Water Tanks shall be coated with National Sanitation

Foundation (NSF) approved coatings as required for Public Health certification. Because NSF approval is for toxicology only, MSC will 20 maintain a list of approved NSF coatings that also comply with performance, odor, and taste requirements.

2) Ballast Tanks shall be coated with two coats of approved epoxy over blasted steel. Shop primers must be removed.

3) Ship’s Service Tanks, such as FO, DO, or LO shall be coated with two 25 coats of approved epoxy over blasted steel.

4) No metallic zinc based shop primers are allowed in any tank coating(s)/system. Existing shop primers shall be removed by blasting to near white metal prior to application of the tank coating(s)/system.

d) Non-Skid Paints

1) Non-skid decks for vehicular and pedestrian service shall be coated with an approved non-skid over steel primed with an approved inorganic zinc and epoxy from the Exterior section of enclosure (1). "Do-it-yourself" non-skid coatings (e.g., sandblasting grit stirred into or sprinkled over 35 ordinary deck paint) are not to be used.

2) Non-skid areas shall not be touched-up or painted over with ordinary deck paint. Where necessary to paint markings on a non-skid surface, thin film build coatings specifically designed for use as color toppings on non-skid shall be used. 40

e) Primers:

1) Primers are included in the approved coating(s)/systems.

2) Primers that contain metallic zinc shall never be top-coated in direct seawater service (e.g., ballast tanks or underwater hull), or in conjunction 45 with any tank coating.

3) Shop primers (also known as preconstruction primers) may be left in place if all the following requirements are met:

i. Area of application is interior space such as machinery spaces, cargo holds, “dry” voids, or habitability spaces. In all other areas such as exterior surfaces, tanks, and underwater hull, it shall be 5 removed.

ii. The shop primer is intact, uncontaminated, and compatible with the system to be applied over it. In cases where the shop primer is damaged or contaminated, it shall be cleaned or abrasive swept prior to paint application. In cases where the shop primer is 10 incompatible with the paint system, it shall be removed.

2. ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES

By Congressional directive and IMO requirements, no coating containing organo-tin ingredients may be applied. Where metallic zinc coatings are not permitted, they shall be 15 replaced with an additional 5-6 mil DFT coat of an epoxy approved for that particular service.

3. OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH POLICIES

a) Paints used in MSC service shall comply with all federal, state, and other occupational safety and health laws and regulations. Areas of current concern 20 include lead, chromates, tributyltin and coal tar, including coal tar derivatives. It should be noted that other materials may be added to the list of banned materials as a result of International Convention and/or federal, state or local regulation.

b) The application of lead based paints is prohibited in MSC service. Totally “lead 25 free” paints are generally not available because trace amounts of lead can be found as contaminants in some of the paint’s constituents. “Lead free” paint is defined by the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s Ban of Lead-Containing

Paint and Certain Consumer Products Bearing Lead-Containing Paint

(16 CFR 1303) as containing 0.06 percent or less lead by weight in the dry paint 30 film.

c) Application of coal-tar epoxies or paints containing coal-tar derivatives is prohibited in MSC service.

d) Application of paints containing zinc chromate is prohibited in MSC service.

APPLICATIONS ABOARD MSC SHIPS

4. UNDERWATER HULL

The underwater hull is defined as all areas of the hull from keel to 6 inches below the light load line, including rudder(s), bilge keels, thruster tunnels, but excluding the boot topping. 5

The Contractor shall fleet the ship in order to ensure that there is full 100 percent coverage of the hull with respect to the new anti-corrosive and anti-fouling coatings.

5. BOOT TOPPING

The boot topping is that portion of the hull from 6 inches below the light load line to 6 10 inches above the deep load line. The boot topping shall always be a black anti-fouling of the same type of coating as the underwater hull (i.e., conventional, ablative, etcetera). In no case should a conventional hard anti-fouling be applied over an ablative anti-fouling. Doing so encapsulates the ablative anti-fouling, rendering it useless.

6. TOPSIDES, HULL

The topside hull comprises all of the freeboard from 6 inches above the deep load line to the railings, including bulwarks. The freeboard hull color for MSC ships shall be Haze Gray

(Fed Std Color #26270).

7. TOPSIDES, SUPERSTRUCTURE AND DECKHOUSES

The general topsides include all weather-exposed vertical surfaces, including superstructure, deck houses, deck lockers, mast houses, railings, ladders, hatches, hatch coamings, ventilation plenums, stacks, masts, crosstrees and mast extensions, and davits. The topside color for T-ATS shall be White (Fed Std Color #27886 or SAE AMS-STD Color 25

#27886).

Topside Decks shall be Dark Gray (Fed Std Color #26081 or SAE AMS-STD Color #26081).

Deck machinery and deck piping are each addressed separately in this chapter.

8. DECKS, GENERAL 30

Interior decks in non-habitability areas are painted with a semi-gloss coating. All decks and horizontal surfaces visible to surface or air detection shall be Dark Gray (Fed Std Color

#26081 or SAE AMS-STD Color #26081).

9. ENGINE ROOM, PUMP ROOMS AND MACHINERY SPACES 35

This section applies to bilges, bulkheads, decks, and overheads of engine rooms, motor rooms, boiler rooms, auxiliary machinery rooms, shaft alleys, and steering gear flats. Machinery and piping within these spaces are addressed separately.

a) The deck color shall be extended 6” up all bulkheads to form a dado band. 40

b) The machinery spaces shall be painted using the following types and colors:

1) Bilges, including foundations: Two (2) coats of a surface-tolerant epoxy at 5 mils DFT with the final coat being Terracotta (red oxide similar to

Fed Std 595 color #20109 or SAE AMS-STD Color #20109).

2) Decks: Two (2) coats of a surface-tolerant epoxy with the final coat

Terracotta or one (1) coat of surface tolerant epoxy and one coat of

Terracotta alkyd.

3) Bulkheads: Fire retardant Soft White.

4) Overheads: Same as bulkheads. 5

5) Deck gratings: Same as decks.

6) Platform gratings: Black.

c) All new steel for replacement of floor bearers shall be blasted to near white metal and coated with one coat of inorganic zinc primer at 2-3 mils DFT, followed by two coats of epoxy as noted in paragraph (b1) above. 10

d) Deck plates and gratings shall be blasted to near white metal and coated with one coat of inorganic zinc primer at 2-3 mils DFT, followed by two coats of paint as noted in paragraph (b)(2) above.

e) Pump Room valves and piping shall be color-coded for the particular cargo system. 15

10. MACHINERY, INTERIOR AND DECK

Machinery falls into three categories: deck machinery (weather-exposed), interior machinery (in engine room or auxiliary spaces), and hot machinery (steam-powered, whether exposed or interior). 20

a) Deck machinery: Haze Gray

b) Interior machinery: Equipment Gray trimmed out with Black

c) Hot machinery: Heat-resisting paint, aluminum in color

NOTE: Re-painting is not required for skid-mounted interior machinery that is pre-25 painted by the Manufacturer.

11. CARGO HOLDS

a) Bulkheads, overheads, the interior of cargo hatch coamings, cargo trunks, etcetera, in way of cargo spaces shall be painted white. 30

b) Decks shall be painted Dark Gray.

c) Wooden cargo battens shall also be painted Dark Gray.

d) Vertical ladders, and bulkheads in way of ladders, shall be gloss black with hazard markings

e) All U-bolts, D-rings, padeyes, and other fittings intended for use during cargo 35 handling shall be painted gloss Red.

12. TANKS AND VOIDS

The importance of ensuring proper coating lifetime in tanks, especially cargo tanks, requires proper attention to surface preparation and paint application. Prior to the start of any 40 abrasive blasting, all surfaces must be cleaned to remove residues of petroleum products

(especially for cargo petroleum or other fuel, lube or hydraulic fluid tanks. SSPC-SP 1, Solvent

Cleaning is a useful standard for this cleaning operation. Similarly, saltwater ballast tanks or fresh water ballast tanks that contain corrosion inhibitors should first be thoroughly cleaned by means of LPWC and the use of products such as Chlor-Rid or equal to remove salts from the 45 surfaces to be prepared. The Contractor shall ensure the use of dehumidification and/or heating equipment, careful clean-up of blasting grit and dust, full stripe coating of all edges, corners, threads, welds and other difficult to coat surfaces, and thorough inspection at each phase of the coating work.

a) Prior to beginning general spray painting, all edges, corners, and other places difficult to reach or properly spray shall be given stripe coats by brush or roller. 5

If it will take too much time to stripe coat before the blasted surface flash rusts, the stripe coat can be applied between the first and second coat.

b) In the case of Potable Water Tanks, all coats shall be cured no less than 48 hours

(at 70 o F minimum) between coats. The final coat shall be cured no less than 7 days (at 70 o F minimum) prior to flushing and chlorination. Forced ventilation 10 shall be maintained during curing periods, and heaters shall be set up when necessary to maintain the minimum temperatures.

c) Dry voids may, if accessible for blasting, be prepared to near white metal and coated with inorganic zinc and top coated with epoxy. If preparation of dry voids to near white metal is not practical, mechanically cleaned surfaces shall be coated 15 with two (2) coats of surface tolerant epoxy.

13. RUDDERS, KORT NOZZLES, INACCESSIBLE VOIDS

a) The exterior areas of rudders and Kort Nozzles are considered part of the high-turbulence regions of the underwater hull. If turbulence induced erosion is noted, 20 these areas shall be coated with one of the MSC approved coatings for high turbulence areas.

b) Interior surfaces of rudders, stern frames, bilge keels, Kort Nozzles or other inaccessible voids shall be "float" coated with any commercially available "float" coatable corrosion preventive compound having the following salient 25 characteristics:

1) Forms a soft or semi-soft film.

2) Is rust penetrating.

3) Is not saltwater soluble.

4) Is non-polluting (will not produce a sheen on water) and/or is self-30 oxidizing.

5) Has a flash point of not less than 100 degrees F (38 degrees C).

14. STACKS

All MSC ships, regardless of type or hull color, shall have their stacks painted with the 35 distinctive color bands described below. The painting of other insignia or markings is prohibited.

a) The widths of the color bands are proportional to the overall height of the stack

“H” as illustrated in Figure A-1. 40

1) Top band: Black, for a width of two-fifteenths of “H”

2) 2nd band: Haze Gray, for one-fifteenth of “H”

3) 3rd band: Blue, for one-fifteenth of “H”

4) 4th band: Yellow, for one-fifteenth of “H”

5) Lower portion: The remainder of the stack (below the yellow band) shall be painted the same color as the surrounding deckhouse, except as otherwise directed in Section 23.

15. LIFEBOATS, LIFE RINGS, LIFE RAFTS AND DAVITS 5

a) Lifeboats shall be prepared in a manner suitable for their construction, i.e., galvanized steel, aluminum, or fiberglass. On open lifeboats the hull color shall match surrounding superstructure color. Exteriors of encapsulated lifeboats shall be maintained international orange as original. The interior of open lifeboats shall be given two topcoats of International Orange, except where the lifeboats are 10 stowed forward of the bridge and the bright color would interfere with navigation

(in such situations, the interior may be given two topcoats of Haze Gray). On each side of the bow in black letter not less than 3” high shall be stenciled the vessel’s name and lifeboat number. Also on each side of the bow, in black letters not less than 1-1/2” high, stencil the cubic capacity of the boat and the number of allowed 15 persons that can be carried. Additionally, on at least two thwarts, in black letters not less than 3” high, shall be stenciled the number of allowable persons that can be carried.

b) Lifeboat oars shall be International Orange with grips and blade tips painted 20

White. Stenciled on each oar shall be the ship’s name.

c) The lifeboat release levers shall be gloss Red, with red luminous tape around the handle ends. The raised lettering on the levers shall be white. The background hull and footings in way of, and for 6” around, the levers also shall be painted 25 white to ensure good contrast for night visibility.

d) Life rings and life rafts shall be maintained in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations. Ship’s name should be stenciled on each item.

e) Davits shall be painted to match superstructure color. “Witness marks” shall be painted on both tracks and arms to indicate the point at which power hoisting of the davits should be stopped. Such witness marks shall normally be White, at least 1-1/2” wide, located where they are readily visible to the winch operator, and should be in alignment before the limit switch is required to function. 35

16. PIPING SYSTEMS

Interior piping, except fire systems, shall be painted to match surrounding areas and stenciled with white lettering to identify service and flow direction. In the event that the piping is painted white to match the surroundings, all stenciling shall be black. Piping Systems shall be 40 stenciled on either side of bulkhead and deck penetrations and at least once each 20 feet of pipe run. Valve bodies shall be painted gloss Black, except those un-insulated valves subjected to high temperatures; these shall be painted with heat-resistant aluminum colored paint.

a) When painting valves, label plates are to be properly masked.

b) Steam piping on weather decks exposed to green seas shall be coated with 4 mils of inorganic zinc primer and top coated.

c) Exterior riser plugs for shore side connections shall have white stenciling to 5 identify their service and shall be color-coded as follows:

1) Fresh water: Blue (Fed Std Color 15123 or SAE AMS-STD Color

17. FIRE AND WASHDOWN SYSTEMS

a) Firemains shall be painted to match surrounding compartment or deck colors and stenciled in red to read “FIREMAIN” with an arrow indicating direction of flow.

Piping shall be stenciled on either side of bulkhead and deck penetrations and at 25 least once every 20 foot of pipe run. All valve bodies and handles, fire cabinets and associated fittings shall be painted or trimmed with gloss Red.

b) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) piping shall be gloss Red, with white stenciling “CO2” and an arrow indicating direction of flow. Piping shall be stenciled on either side of bulkhead and deck penetrations and at least once every 20 feet of pipe run. 30

This includes nozzles, valves, and control handles.

NOTE: In the event that the color of the piping is such that there is poor color contrast with the red stencil markings, a rectangular area in way of the stenciling shall be painted white for contrast. 35

18. WIRING SYSTEMS

Wire trays and hangers, stuffing tubes, and similar electrical fittings shall be painted to match surrounding compartment surfaces. Electrical cabling shall not be painted.

19. HAZARD MARKINGS

All points posing inherent hazards to personnel shall be clearly and distinctively painted with alternating black and yellow stripes. This includes low beams, high hatch coamings, protruding corners, and other stumbling or tripping hazards.

22. INTERIOR SPACES AND COLOR SCHEMES

a) Introduction

This chapter addresses paint and color schemes for those spaces not called out previously.

In general, the interior areas aboard ship fall into two categories: work spaces (such as offices, workshops, duty stations, etcetera), and living spaces (such as quarters, lounges, recreational 5 areas, etcetera).

b) Work Spaces

All work areas shall be painted in accordance with the color schemes listed in Tables A-2 and A-3. 10

c) Living Spaces

These areas shall be painted in accordance with the color schemes listed in Tables A-2 and A-3. However, in those spaces generally used for relaxation and recreation by the crew, the pastel colors may be coordinated with the overall decor of the space. 15

NOTE: Wherever deck paint is used, a 6” dado (mopping band) should carried up the adjacent bulkheads.

d) Color Codes 20 Table A-2 specifies the colors to be used for bulkheads, overheads and decks for various spaces and Table A-3 provides the Federal Standard or SAE AMS-STD Color Numbers for the colors used by MSC.
