The Cargo Tank Coatings: In-Service Issues webinar explored the most common and costly challenges affecting tank coating performance across chemical, product, and IMO cargo tanks.
Drawing on real project data and expert field experience, the presentation examined mechanisms of coating breakdown, the impact of cargo-related stresses, typical specification pitfalls, and operational factors that accelerate degradation. Safinah Head of Marine Consultancy, Carl Barnes highlighted failure patterns, inspection insights, mitigation strategies, and best-practice interventions to reduce risk.
This webinar aims to provide a clearer understanding of how independent coating expertise, proper specification, and disciplined operational control can prevent disputes, extend coating life, and safeguard vessel earning capability.
