PREFACE It is a pleasure to introduce to the reader this new Marine Painting Manual. The previous edition, entitled Ship Painting Manual, was published in 1975. Since then a number of new technological developments have taken place. Also, standards with regard to safety, health and the environment have become more severe. These changes called for a thoroughly revised and updated Marine Painting Manual. I believe that the editor should be congratulated on having completed this task in such a commendable way. I hope that this new volume will find as enthusiastic a response among those concerned with maritime affairs as its predecessor did some fifteen years ago. Dr. Jan Raat Director Netherlands Foundation for the Co-ordination of Maritime Research INTRODUCTION The "Marine Painting Manual" sets out to provide clear guidelines for the effective protection of marine structures, ocean-going vessels and offshore platforms. Painting is a high cost procedure and is a crucial factor in determining the life and subsequent maintenance of steel structures in the marine environment. The book is a follow-up to the "Ship Painting Manual" published in 1975. It has been completely revised, partly rewritten and an additional chapter on offshore structures included. The present volume contains detailed and up-to-date information on all aspects of the preparation and painting for the protection of marine structures. The following chapters are included: 1. The protection of different parts of ships under construction. 2. The protection of different parts of offshore structures under construction. 3. Surface preparation. 4. Paints and paint systems. 5. Prefabrication (shop) primers. 6. Storage and application of paints. 7. Maintenance of paint systems. 8. Paint contracts and specifications. 9. Quality assurance, quality control, testing and inspection. 10. Cathodic protection. 11. Health, safety and the environment. The "Marine Painting Manual" was commissioned by the Netherlands National Foundation for the Co-ordination of Maritime Research (CMO)" and has been compiled by the TNO Paint Research Institute"". The editor, In g. A.M. Berendsen, was assisted .. Stichting Coordinatie Maritiem Onderzoek (CMO). ** The TNO Paint Research Institute forms pan of the TNO Centre of Polymeric Materials. by an advisory panel of representatives of ship yards, ship owners, paint manufacturers and painting contractors. The chairman was Drs. F.H. de Ia Court, Head of the Paint Research Institute. Chapter 11 has been drafted by another member of the Institute, Dr. T. Doorgeest. The members of the advisory panel were, in alphabetical order: Ir. J.U. Brolsma Stichting Coordinatie Maritiem Onderzoek (CMO) Ir. T.T. Dekker Sigma Coatings B.V. Ir. T.
