PREFACE
It is a pleasure to introduce to the reader this new Marine Painting Manual. The
previous edition, entitled Ship Painting Manual, was published in 1975. Since then a
number of new technological developments have taken place. Also, standards with
regard to safety, health and the environment have become more severe.
These changes called for a thoroughly revised and updated Marine Painting Manual.
I believe that the editor should be congratulated on having completed this task in such a
commendable way.
I hope that this new volume will find as enthusiastic a response among those concerned
with maritime affairs as its predecessor did some fifteen years ago.

INTRODUCTION
The "Marine Painting Manual" sets out to provide clear guidelines for the effective
protection of marine structures, ocean-going vessels and offshore platforms. Painting is
a high cost procedure and is a crucial factor in determining the life and subsequent
maintenance of steel structures in the marine environment.
The book is a follow-up to the "Ship Painting Manual" published in 1975. It has been
completely revised, partly rewritten and an additional chapter on offshore structures
included. The present volume contains detailed and up-to-date information on all
aspects of the preparation and painting for the protection of marine structures.
The following chapters are included:
1. The protection of different parts of ships under construction.
2. The protection of different parts of offshore structures under construction.
3. Surface preparation.
4. Paints and paint systems.
5. Prefabrication (shop) primers.
6. Storage and application of paints.
7. Maintenance of paint systems.
8. Paint contracts and specifications.
9. Quality assurance, quality control, testing and inspection.
10. Cathodic protection.
11. Health, safety and the environment.
The "Marine Painting Manual" was commissioned by the Netherlands National
Foundation for the Co-ordination of Maritime Research (CMO)" and has been compiled
by the TNO Paint Research Institute"". The editor, In g. A.M. Berendsen, was assisted

Research Institute. Chapter 11 has been drafted by another member of the Institute,
