Introduction
LNG Carrier Owners Manual l
Natural gas is a clean, abundant source of energy, and demand has
increased among electric and gas utilities. Natural gas is only
transported commercially through pipelines, however since it is a gas it
is very voluminous. In its liquid form (LNG), it occupies 1/600th of the
volume of the gas.
The only economically viable method of transporting liquefied natural
gas over long distances is via LNG carriers.
LNG is carried in specially insulated containment tanks aboard purpose
built vessels. It was reported, as of September 1st 2007, the LNG fleet
stood at 241 vessels comprising approx. 29 million metre3 of capacity.
The market differs from other bulk shipping operations in that it
involves a select number of specialised operators / owners.
In recent years, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)has been the focus of considerable interestas oil prices have risen.

Introduction
LNG Carrier Owners Manual l
A critical requirement for LNG carriers is
to arrive at their destination on time.
Loss of speed due to hull and/or
propeller fouling can result in not only
delayed arrival times but also increased engine
wear and fuel consumption. Fouling control is thus
a vital part of vessel operating efficiency but this
has traditionally proved difficult on LNG vessels
with even the best biocide containing antifoulings
succumbing to severe fouling attack.
Revolutionary Foul Release coatings, which rely on
high vessel speed and activity for their efficacy, are
proving themselves to be the ideal
solution for LNG hull and propeller
fouling control.

Qatargas are delighted with the
excellent performance of International
Paints foul release coating system,
Intersleek700.
Mr Chafik Zitouni, Acting/Head of
Technical Shipping for Qatargas said:
In 2001 Qatargas decided
to use Intersleek from
International Paint on their
LNG ships. This followed a review of
alternative TBT-free antifoulings and
Intersleek was selected because it
had both the environmental and long
life performance that we required.
The resulting in service performance
of this innovative product from
International Paint has more than
matched our expectations and it
has now been applied to
7 out of 10 of our
LNG ships.

Commenting on this historic first contract,
Denis Thiard, Marine Key Account Manager for
International Paint (France) said:
We have had good working relations
with the Hyproc Shipping Company for
many years. International Paint supplied
products for their fleet maintenance contract three
years ago and when they commissioned these new
vessels in Japan, they wanted to use our products
again. A key element of securing this project was
International Paints global network, especially
important as the vessels will be deployed and
maintained in a different part of the
world to where they were built.

Introduction
LNG Carrier Owners Manual l
Intersleek900 has just been
launched and to date
International Paint has coated
one gas carrier with the product - the LPG
tanker BW Captain operated by BW Gas.*
The company is confident that the coating
will be quickly taken up by LNG carrier
operators. So far, the hulls of 28 LNG
carriers have been coated with
International Paints predecessor,
Intersleek700.

www.international-marine.com LNG Carrier Owners Manual l
Working closely with the worlds major vessel
operators and new construction yards,
International Paint recognised the importance
of high performance corrosion protection for
improved newbuilding productivity and long
term asset protection and in 1988 introduced
Intershield300 - a unique high performance,
light coloured abrasion resistant, aluminium
pure epoxy anticorrosion coating which is
suitable for application over prepared shop
primers.
Almost 20 years after its introduction,
Intershield300 is now firmly established as the
newbuilding industry benchmark for premium
performance, abrasion resistant, corrosion
protection. Also available for use on
maintenance and repair projects, the
Intershield300 in service results, independent
test data, track record and proven cost
benefits speak for themselves.
Intershield300 - is available in the newbuilding
and maintenance and repair sector as an
integral part of an overall corrosion protection
program designed to provide cradle to grave
protection for the ship.
Intershield300 has built an impressive and
unique track record of outstanding corrosion
protection on over 115 LNG carriers
worldwide.*

Abrasion Resistance and Corrosion Protection
Intershield300Abrasion resistant aluminium pure epoxy
www.international-marine.com LNG Carrier Owners Manual l
Long term corrosion protectionA combination of several factors go towards giving Intershield300 its
unique long term corrosion protection.
Abrasion resistance High film thickness Aluminium pigmentation Edge retention
Abrasion resistanceIntershield300 has been shown to exhibit excellent resistance to
abrasion both in service and through laboratory testing. Not all epoxies
however perform to the same high standard.
To allow direct comparisons between a range of epoxy technologies,
International Paint worked closely with the Marine Department at
Newcastle University, England, to develop a test method to compare
and evaluate coatings under realistic conditions.
Referred to only as Test X9, this unique test accurately simulates in
service damage in cargo holds and highlights very clear differences
between so called abrasion resistant coating systems in terms of
long term corrosion protection.

regulation l l-1/3-2 and regulation Xl l6.3
Performance Standard for Protective Coatings
(PSPC) for Dedicated Seawater Ballast Tanks of
all types of ships and Double-Side Skin Spaces
of Bulk Carriers is based on coatings
specifications and requirements which are
intended to provide a GOOD target useful
lifetime of 15 years from initial application.
The PSPC is only applicable to vessels at
newbuilding.
The PSPC is applicable for all vessels over
500GT that are contracted on or after 1st of
July 2008, or if there is no contract, the keels of
which are laid on or after 1st January 2009, or
if delivery is on or after 1st July 2012. However,
for tankers and bulk carriers contracted on or
after 8th December 2006, the requirements for
the coating system as laid out in the PSPC are
applicable immediately under the requirements
of the Common Structural Rules (CSR) that were
adopted on the 1st April 2006.
International Paint welcomes the introduction of
a standard that will help increase the service life
of coatings for water ballast tanks and directly
contributes to improved safety of life at sea.
With the long, successful and proven in service
performance of Intershield300, we feel confident
we have coating solutions to meet and exceed
the PSPC requirements.
Abrasion Resistance and Corrosion Protection
www.international-marine.com LNG Carrier Owners Manual l
Low film thickness Early film breakdown is often attributed to areas of low dry film
thickness (DFT). Intershield300 has been shown to provide
outstanding performance at low film thickness.
Using a very simple but highly indicative test method called a DFT
Ladder, it is possible to compare various coatings long term corrosion
protection performance in a relatively short period of time.
The results give the first indications of the superior long term
anticorrosive properties of Intershield300, properties which are
now backed up by a long and successful in service track record
(>18 years).

Abrasion Resistance and Corrosion Protection
www.international-marine.com LNG Carrier Owners Manual l
High film thicknessIntershield300 is ideally suited to shipyard application on complex
structures, especially water ballast tanks. International Paint
understand that DFTs of three to four times higher than specification
are typically unavoidable on complex areas such as welds and corners.
Common sense may suggest that more is better but this is not the
case with many coating systems. Excessive DFTs can give rise to
stress within the coating which can cause cracking, detachment and
subsequent corrosion.
To demonstrate the performance of Intershield300 under conditions
of high DFT, International Paint developed a realistic ballast tank
cycling test.*
The test clearly shows the resistance of Intershield300 to in service
cracking.
* Each system is applied to welded T pieces at 3 times the
recommended DFT. The test pieces are then cycled in natural
seawater followed by hot and humid atmospheric exposure
and checked at the end of every 2 month cycle for
cracking, detachment and corrosion.

Aluminium pigmentationThe aluminium flake pigmented Intershield300 provides outstanding
corrosion protection. The use of the aluminium flake improves the
coating barrier properties and decreases the rate of transport of water
and oxygen through the coating. Similar behaviour can be observed
with other flake like pigments such as glass flake and mica.
However, the real advantage of using aluminium flake instead of glass
flake or mica becomes evident when the coating is damaged and the
steel substrate is exposed. The aluminium pigment reacts with the
hydroxyl ions produced at the cathode in the corrosion cell. This
reduces the pH at the coating steel interface and decreases the rate
of cathodic disbonding. The benefit of using aluminium flake pigmented
epoxy coatings was clearly demonstrated in a study carried out by
SINTEF* in which the cathodic disbondment of aluminium and glass
flake pigmented coatings were compared. The aluminium pigmented
coatings show a large reduction in cathodic disbondment in the long
term test.

Edge retentionIntershield300 has excellent edge retention properties and is proven in
both laboratory testing and on vessels in service.
It has long been accepted that edges in water ballast tanks are
generally the first areas to experience coating breakdown. One of the
known causes of this is the poor edge coverage properties of the
coating. Correctly formulated edge retentive coatings mean that the
same dry film thickness can be achieved on edges as that applied to
flat surfaces.
The IMO has recognised the importance of treating edges and has
made recommendations to the basic coating system requirements of
the updated SOLAS Amendment CH II-1/Reg3.2 by stating that edges
in water ballast tanks are to be treated to a rounded radius of a
minimum of 2mm, or subjected to three pass grinding or at least
equivalent process before painting. Clearly choosing a coating system
with proven edge retention will help provide long term anticorrosive
performance.

Proof of performanceClearly, all products that claim to be abrasion resistant anticorrosives
are not the same. Only the unique, light coloured, aluminum pure
epoxy formulation of Intershield300 can deliver the very highest levels
of newbuilding productivity and in service performance - proven on
5,600 vessels including 115 LNG carriers to date. Long term asset
protection, maximised operating efficiency, controlled future
maintenance costs and optimised return on investment can all be
realities if Intershield:300 is specified and professionally applied initially
at the new construction stage and then during planned maintenance
throughout the vessels life.

Fouling control has traditionally proven difficult on LNG carriers with
even the best biocide containing antifouling succumbing to severe
fouling attack.
Foul release coatings are proving themselves to be the ideal solution
for LNG hull and propeller fouling control. Not only can they keep
hulls and propellers smooth and free of macro-fouling for extended
in service period of up to 60 months, but in addition, since they do not
use biocides to control fouling, they can be an integral part of an LNG
environmental management plan.
Fouling Control
The control of fouling is a vital part of vessel operating efficiency. Loss of speeddue to hull and/or propeller fouling can result in not only delayed arrival time, but also increased engine wear and fuel consumption.
Ghasha (National Gas Shipping Co. Ltd.)Intersleek700 applied in 2006.
Umm Bab (Maran GasMaritime) Intersleek700applied in 2005.
Propeller efficiency ismaintained with no in watercleaning required duringthe in service period.
Intersleek has anultrasmooth, slippery, easy clean surface.
www.international-marine.com LNG Carrier Owners Manual l
Unlike antifoulings, Intersleek700 does not rely on biocides to control
fouling and provides an ultra smooth, slippery, low friction, surface onto
which fouling organisms have difficulty settling. Any organisms which do
settle, normally do so only weakly and can usually be easily removed.
The smoothness of the Intersleek700 system, compared to that of a
typical (biocide containing) Self Polishing Copolymer (SPC) antifouling,
decreases hull friction potentially enhancing fuel efficiency and speed.
Having excellent colour retention and being chemically durable means
there is no film degradation, polishing or other chemical change,
allowing extended dry docking intervals. The unique Intersleek717
Linkcoat allows direct application of the Intersleek700 system over
existing biocide containing SPC antifoulings in good condition, without
the need for full blasting.
The Average Hull Roughness of Intersleek700 has been measured on
full ships and has resulted in a recorded average of 100 microns, this
compares to a typical SPC antifouling roughness of 125 microns.
With proven average fuel savings of 4% and a corresponding reduction
in emissions, Intersleek700 is now firmly established as the industry
benchmark in silicone foul release technology.
In 1999, International Paint introducedIntersleek700, a revolutionary silicone basedfoul release coating system specificallydesigned for deep sea, high activity scheduledships which travel at 15-30 knots.
SummaryIn comparison to a typical SPC antifouling
system, Intersleek700 has:
4% predicted fuel saving 100 microns Average Hull Roughness 20% smoother than a typical
SPC antifouling coating

Intersleek now has a proven, hugelysuccessful (full ship) track record of over 200 vessels (including 24 LNG carriers),several of which have over 60 months in service performance.
Intersleek700Silicone elastomer foul release coating
www.international-marine.com LNG Carrier Owners Manual l
Exceptionally smooth with unprecedented low levels of average hull
roughness combined with excellent foul release capabilities and good
resistance to mechanical damage means that for the very first time, all
vessels above 10 knots can now benefit from foul release technology.
Intersleek900 provides superior performance in comparison
to Intersleek700 on high speed / high activity scheduled ships.
The lower surface roughness, better coefficient of friction and
advanced surface energy characteristics improves fuel efficiency
and reduces slime build-up.
Intersleek900 is a new, unique patentedfluoropolymer foul release coating.Fluoropolymer chemistry represents the verylatest advances in foul release technology,significantly improving upon the performance ofthe best silicone based system, Intersleek700.
SummaryIn comparison to a typical SPC antifouling
system, Intersleek900 has:

LNG Carrier Owners Manual l www.international-marine.com
Average hull roughness decrease Average Hull Roughness (AHR) is of critical importance. Vessels hulls
need to be as smooth as possible for maximum efficiency. If hull
roughness is allowed to increase, more power is required to push the
vessel through the water more power means more fuel more fuel
means more money and more emissions. Those vessels unable to
increase power to compensate for increased roughness will lose speed
resulting in slower transit times or late arrivals. Operators able to quote
higher speeds during charter contract negotiation may be able to
command higher rates.
Foul release Intersleek900 has been formulated to make it very difficult for fouling
organisms to adhere to the coated surface. The surface energy has
been engineered in such a way that a very unattractive surface is
presented to the fouling organism.
The excellent foul release properties of Intersleek900 means that even
during exceptionally long periods of inactivity, fouling attachment can
be removed by the vessel getting under way.
The better static resistance and improved foul release properties of
Intersleek900 means the product is suitable for use on newbuildings
during fitting out periods.

Fouling Control
* Hull roughness on ships is measured as the
average maximum peak to lowest trough
height. The performance of foul release
systems is not solely a function of AHR but
also of wavelength. Intersleek900 has the
most open texture (compared to SPC
antifouling and Intersleek700) which means
the longest wavelength and lowest AHR
resulting in an exceptionally smooth surface
LNG Carrier Owners Manual l www.international-marine.com
Resistance to slime fouling Certain owners enjoying the benefits of using silicone based Intersleek700
have noticed that slime build-up can occur. Intersleek900 technology has
combined advanced surface energy characteristics and an ultra smooth
surface to reduce slime build-up by 50%.
Gloss and applicationproperties Intersleek900s unique fluoropolymer technology uses additional
hydrogen bonding which dramatically increases the hold-up and sag
resistance removing the need for double applications and yard
re-working. This simplifies the application and leads to a smoother
finish with better appearance. Another advantage of Intersleek900 is
that is has also been formulated to reduce the amount of overspray
generated during application.
Abrasionresistance Current Intersleek700 users now know how
tough and flexible the product actually is,
disproving the misconception that silicone
coatings are softer and more prone to damage
than an SPC antifouling. Intersleek900 has
improved abrasion resistance, so ensuring less
damage to vessels in service,
