On behalf of

IPPIC PSPC and Anti-fouling Working Groups

November 2007:

IMO granted consultative status to IPPIC

November 2012:

4th Global Marine Coatings Forum

5 years anniversary

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 anti-

fouling systems• Support of the on-going IMO activity on the AFS Convention

Continued on next slide

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

Ballast water management

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

5 years anniversary

Thank you to those that have supported us.

Congratulations to the IPPIC organization and those companies and individuals dedicated to the work within IMO

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)
