See maritime accident videos at: https://www.osha.gov/video/shipyard_accidents/volume1.html $$$ Saved By a ONE COAT Paint System BACKGROUND: In the case of a pontoon deck coating, or say, coating the underwater hull of a floating dry dock, the typical number of individual coats applied is 6 for a pontoon deck to reach the recommended 40 mil thickness, and 4 coats to achieve a 25 mil hull paint thickness. The first coat is always the most expensive because it includes set up costs. Additional coats cost 70% of the first coat. Each coat takes the same labor time to apply, although another coat can be applied while the previous coat is still being applied further down the deck or hull. But, all the coats added together is total time. And time in a shipyard is expensive. Plus, the more coats that have to be applied, the greater the chance of a weather delay or moisture contamination between coats. LABOR & MATERIAL: In talking to shipyards across the U.S., average labor rates from East Coast to Gulf Coast to West Coast are in the neighborhood of $27-$30/hour for coating applications. In Asia, they are lower and depend on the area (China vs. South Korea vs. Singapore, for example). But, using U.S. labor rates and then converting the hourly rate to an average burdened labor cost (to include all the overhead costs for all members of the application team and the time it takes to cover X square feet) per square foot of applied coating, the labor cost to coat one square foot of steel is $4.25/sq. ft. SUMMARY: As is evident, the total labor and material for applying the more expensive but single coat of CeRam-Kote SPG is less than 1/3 the cost of applying a less expensive coating that requires 6 coats to achieve the 40 mils required. A. Even if the labor cost in Asian shipyards were ½ of U.S. labor costs, CeRam-Kote would still be less expensive by far. B. And if only a 25 mil coating were required for the underwater hull, CeRam-Kote SPG still comes in lower in total cost. C. The owner receives a 5 year warranty for the 40 mil CeRam-Kote system vs. a 1 year warranty for the other choice, as well as all the superior features that CeRam-Kote has to offer because of its ceramic particle loading: flexibility, adhesion, abrasion / impact resistance, and perm factor.

Monitoring and Control for Tomorrow’s Floating Dry Docks IDAC West has provided dry dock control systems since 1999 for the Floating Dry Dock industry. Our systems are built for safety, efficiency, and ease of use by the operator. The systems include integrated and stand-alone modules for: Deflection Monitoring, Enhanced Manual Control, Attitude and System Monitoring, Alarming, Automatic Evolution Control, Data Trending, Historical and Event Data Logging, Remote Data Monitoring We have deployed systems on dry docks that are class approved by ABS, Lloyds Register, Bureau Veritas, and NAVSEA.

Lead times, and therefore the number of ship repairs, is significantly improved. Syncrolift is continuously developing smarter solutions to improve the productivity and speed of operations. An example is blocking solutions. The blocking wood used for stabilizing a ship is not a value gain from a shipowner’s point of view. It is possible to source solutions that avoid these costs, and Syncrolift has several options available. The efficiency of docking, launching and repair operations of ships is influenced by which solutions are used.

The key element in all CeRam-Kote products is ceramic particle loading, which creates above normal adhesion of the coating to the substrate as it cures in the epoxy matrix bound within the anchor profile of the prepared steel plates. This same feature also provides exceptional abrasion and impact resistance, plus added corrosion protection and perm factor. A patented element allows up to 15% elongation/flexibility of the coating without rupture. Pontoon decks have been the primary application over the past 20 years, although preservation of historic ship hulls has made it an excellent candidate for underwater hull preservation as well. Ballast tanks/holding tanks are another application as a result of 35 years of use on offshore oil platforms.
