  • Publication number: 20240239454
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method (200) of assembling a vessel overboard discharge assembly (600), the method (200) comprising: inserting (210) a tubular insert (500) into an overboard discharge pipe (300) so that a space (400) is defined between the tubular insert (500) and the overboard discharge pipe (300): blocking (221) an outboard opening (401) into the space (400) at an outboard end (301) of the space (400): and providing (280) in the space (400) an adhesive (450) and/or chocking material (450) for adhering and/or chocking the tubular insert (500) in the overboard discharge pipe (300).

  • Publication number: 20230265771
    Abstract: Disclosed is a scrubber outlet assembly, the scrubber outlet assembly comprising a pipe having an inner surface, wherein the inner surface has a first portion made from a first electrically conductive material, a second portion made from a second electrically conductive material dissimilar to the first electrically conductive material, and a region comprising at least a part of the first portion and at least a part of the second portion. The scrubber outlet assembly comprises a barrier located inwardly of the inner surface of the pipe. The scrubber outlet assembly defines a flow path through the pipe along which washwater is flowable from a scrubber in use, and the barrier fluidically isolates the region from the flow path.

  • Patent number: 9447289
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the establishment of a crack resistant epoxy paint coat and paint compositions suitable for said method. The method is developed for use in ballast tanks e.g. a ballast tank of a vessel. The method involves the steps: (i) applying a paint composition comprising an epoxy-based binder system onto the surface thereby forming a curable paint film on the surface, and (ii) allowing the curable paint film to cure thereby forming the epoxy paint coat. The paint composition has a viscosity of at the most 140 KU, when ready to be applied. The paint composition comprises 35-80% by solids volume of the paint of an epoxy-based binder system having a ratio between the hydrogen equivalents and the epoxy equivalents in the range of 20:100 to 120:100. The paint composition furthermore comprises 0.5-30% by solids volume of the paint of one or more fibers. The fibers have an average length, of at the most 250 ?m.
