The company's business scope covers full marine coating agency services including the very competitive Hailun’s range of marine coatings under the Transocean brand used in all kinds of vessels and crafts such as dry cargo carriers, oil tankers, yachts, ferries, barges, and tugboats with class recognised TBT-free Anti-fouling Coatings. A good quality protective coating can delay the onset of corrosion of the structure. The mandated standards represent the latest in the line of many regulatory actions taken to enhance vessel longevity and thereby enhance safety. This has led to adoption of ballast tanks’ PSPC for SOLAS Chapter II Part A-1 Regulation 3-2 on December 8, 2006, and adoption of PSPC for cargo oil tanks of all crude oil tankers per SOLAS Chapter II Part A-1 Regulation 3-11 on May 21, 2010. Those mandated PSPC standards specify requirements for coating application processes during various stages of new construction. For compliance with the IMO PSPC, the inspection items are being carried out by qualified coating inspectors certified to NACE Coating Inspector Level 2, FROSIO Inspector Level III or equivalent. In addition to verification of the coating inspector’s qualification and certification, class societies are also to monitor the coating inspection by confirming, on a sampling basis, that the inspectors are using the correct equipment, techniques, and reporting methods as described in the agreed-upon inspection procedures.
