Full title and description

ISO 16145-3:2012 — Ships and marine technology — Protective coatings and inspection method — Part 3: Cargo oil tanks of crude oil tankers. This part of ISO 16145 specifies protective coating system requirements and an inspection method for cargo oil tanks on crude oil tankers (including certain crude oil/product carriers) and sets applicability criteria for newbuildings and deliveries.

Abstract

This standard defines a method for protective coatings and inspection of cargo oil tanks for crude oil tankers of not less than 5 000 tonnes deadweight. It includes applicability dates for newbuilding contracts, keel‑laying stages and delivery, and cross‑references the Supplement to the International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate (Form B) for definitions of crude oil tankers and crude oil/product carriers.

Scope

Applies to protective coating selection, surface preparation, application, curing and inspection of cargo oil tanks on crude oil tankers of at least 5 000 tonnes deadweight that are: contracted for new building on or after 1 January 2013; or where keels are laid (or equivalent stage) on or after 1 July 2013; or delivered on or after 1 January 2016. The part is intended for crude oil tankers and certain crude oil/product carriers as defined in the Supplement to the IOPP Certificate.

Key topics and requirements

• Applicability criteria for newbuildings and delivery dates (contract, keel‑laying and delivery thresholds).
• Requirements for coating system selection suitable for crude oil cargo service (durability, chemical resistance and compatibility).
• Surface preparation standards and acceptance levels prior to coating application.
• Coating application and curing practices to achieve specified film thickness and performance.
• Inspection methods (including visual and non‑destructive checks), acceptance criteria and documentation/reporting of inspection results.
• Quality assurance and records to demonstrate compliance during construction and delivery stages.

Typical use and users

Used by shipyards, shipowners, marine surveyors, classification societies, coating manufacturers, naval architects and ship operators involved in the design, construction, certification and maintenance of crude oil tankers. The standard is applied during newbuilding contracts, pre-delivery inspections and when specifying coating systems for cargo tanks.

Related standards

ISO 16145 is a multipart standard. Related parts include ISO 16145-1:2012 (Dedicated seawater ballast tanks) and ISO 16145-2:2012 (Void spaces of bulk carriers and oil tankers). The standard is aligned with relevant IMO/PSC requirements and references used in ship certification practice (for example PPP/PSPC references used for protective coatings).
