On behalf of
IPPIC PSPC and Anti-fouling Working Groups
5 years anniversary
November 2007:
IMO granted
consultative status
to IPPIC
November 2012:
4th Global Marine
Coatings Forum
IPPIC – a global organization
The IPPIC network Anno 2012
How IPPIC can contribute to IMO
Examples taken from IPPIC’s 2007 application:
• IPPIC can provide global expertise on marine coatings
formulation:
• Independent from the chemical industry
• Unique knowledge on R&D and application of marine
coatings
• Members made major investments in R&D for marine products
• Members are the primary resource for information on the
development and use of ingredients:
• Environmental considerations relating to the use of antifouling systems
• Support of the on-going IMO activity on the AFS Convention

How IPPIC can contribute to IMO
Examples taken from IPPIC’s 2007 application:
• IPPIC members possess a wealth of experience in:
• Technical issues
• Environmental issues
• Safety issues associated with protective coatings.
• This expertise is extremely valuable to MSC on performance
standards for marine coatings.
• IPPIC’s network of dangerous goods transport experts can
provide IMO with resources on Specialized Product Shipments

Was there a need for a PSPC WG?
Yes, because:
• We were involved too late
in the PSPC process
• The co-operation within
the industry was not fully
utilized
• We have been few actors
in IMO delegations and in
working groups
• No agreed mandate
We looked for:
• More networking – also
with other interest
groups within the IMO
work
• Thoroughly discussed
policies to the benefit of
everybody
• More shoulders to bear
the workload.

Conclusions
What have the working groups achieved?
• Recognized in IMO as the coatings industry’s true representative
• Contributed to IMO correspondence-, working- and drafting groups
• Contributed to the interpretation of performance standards for
coatings
• Contributed to Guidelines for the Control and Management of
Ships’ Biofouling
Continued on next slide
Conclusions
• Contributed to maintenance and repair guidelines for ballast tanks
and cargo oil tanks
• Obtained acceptance for technically more relevant test standards
for void space coatings
• Obtained an extended implementation period for PSPC/COT
allowing more time for developing and testing complying coatings
• Established co-operation between GESAMP and NACE as regards
corrosion tests for Ballast Water Management systems

Paint – Recognised through ages
Specification for Noah’s Ark:
•
•
•
•
•
Coating: Pitch inside and out
LOA: 140 meter
Breadth moulded: ~23 meter
Draught: ~10 meter
GT: ~15,000 tonnes
•Pitch is black, and ballast tank coatings must be of a light colour
•Pitch is not a hard coating such as epoxy
•No specification for number of coats or thickness of the coating
•Finally, there was nobody there to type approve the pitch and its
manufacturer.
So Noah’s Ark does not meet IMO Res. MSC.215(82)
