16
Q

– a coating which is the major line of defense against corrosion in ballast tanks and void spaces
– in ballast tanks, they are commonly used and there is some interest in using inert gas atmospheres

A

Hard Epoxy Coating

17
Q

– a means of preventing electrochemical wastage is required
– a system of preventing corrosion by forcing all surfaces of a structure (e.g. hull) to be cathodes by providing external anodes

A

Cathodic Protection

18
Q

Types of Cathodic Protection

A

Sacrificial Anode System/Sacrificial Anodes
Impressed Current System/Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP)

19
Q

Type of Cathodic Protection that can be accomplished by fitting aluminium, magnesium or zinc anodes in tanks or underwater portion of a ship, which waste away by galvanic action

A

Sacrificial Anode Cathodic Protection

20
Q

Type of Cathodic Protection that can be achieved by superimposing on the hull an impressed current provided by a remote power source through a small number of inert anodes

A

Impressed Current Cathodic Protection

21
Q

– metals or alloys attached to the hull that have a more anodic, i.e. less noble, potential than steel when immersed in sea water
– supply the cathodic protection current, but will be consumed in doing so and therefore require replacement for the protection to be maintained

A

Sacrificial Anodes

22
Q

– may be safely employed
– sacrificial anodes made of zinc that are attached to a ship’s hull
– a critical component of a cathodic protection system, which is used to protect the ship’s metal structure from corrosion
– they work by corroding instead of the hull, providing protection against corrosion

A

Zinc Anodes

23
Q

– consists of a number of anodes (lead or platinised titanium) fitted to the hull at
selected places below the waterline, and control equipment which automatically
regulates the anode current to the required value
– consists of anodes connected to a DC power source

A

Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP)

24
Q

an electrical device used to convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) by allowing a current to flow through the device in one direction only

A

Rectifier

25
Q

Process of converting alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC)

A

Rectification

26
Q

the negative or reducing electrode that releases electrons to the external circuit and oxidizes (corrode) during and electrochemical reaction

A

Anode

27
Q

the positive or oxidizing electrode that acquires electrons from the external circuit and is reduced during the electrochemical reaction

A

Cathode

28
Q

combined with inappropriate manipulations may lead to damage of a vessel, threatening the cargo, the environment or, even worst, human life

A

Heavy Weather

29
Q

Preventive Actions to be taken for Heavy Weather

A
  1. Always the cargo to be loaded as per Cargo Security Manual
  2. Speed of the vessel need to be adjusted with the course and slow down if needed
  3. Consideration of the actual stability conditions
  4. Maintaining of the lashing equipment to be in a good condition (container ships or Ro-Ro vessels)
  5. Hatch covers and seals must be in good water-tight condition (bulk carriers)
  6. Officers to be aware and well trained to handle the mentioned risks
  7. Alternate route through a less risky course
30
Q

– the manual required on all types of ships engaged in the carriage of all cargoes other than solid and liquid bulk cargoes
– cargo units, including containers, shall be loaded, stowed and secured throughout the voyage in accordance with it approved by the Administration

A

Cargo Securing Manual

31
Q

Preventing Structural Damage of the Ship

A
  1. The selection of high-quality materials and effective coating systems is pivotal in preventing hull damage
  2. Investing in robust and corrosion-resistant materials during construction or repair can enhance the vessel’s longevity and reduce the likelihood of structural weaknesses
32
Q

Precautions while cargo loading operations

A

Pre-arrival checks
Ship-Shore Safety Checklist

33
Q

must be carried out before reaching the loading port on the cargo/bunkering systems and equipment

A

Pre-arrival checks

34
Q

must be agreed with the terminal and understood by all personnel involved in the cargo operations

A

Ship-Shore Safety Checklist

35
Q

– everywhere, incur a measure of liability for the safety of the goods
– in common-law countries, liable for any damage or for the loss of the goods that are in their possession as carriers, unless they prove that the damage or loss is attributable to certain excepted causes

A

Carriers
