CORROSION PROTECTION AND PREPARATION FOR SHIPMENT

Painting and Protective Coating
Painting and protective coating and the procedures for preparation for
painting shall be as specified in the project specification for Protective
Coating for Offshore Structure and facilities.

12.2

Preparation for Shipment

Prior to shipment, all instrumentation and other equipment vulnerable to
damage shall be disassembled and boxed separately for shipment.

All items shall be adequately packed and protected against damage during
shipment. Each crate, bag or packages shall be clearly identified with the
purchase order number and identification symbol, and shall be securely
fastened to the Package Base.

Exposed machined surfaces shall be coated with an easily removable rust

preventative.
All flanged openings shall be protected with steel plate covers attached by
proper bolting and sealed with plastic compound.
All electrical control enclosures shall be appropriately plugged at entries and
loaded with silica gel bags.
Screwed connections shall be protected with threaded forged steel plugs.

Contractor shall state in the proposals his recommendations for long term
storage (up to 12 months) for both indoor and open air storage in a marine
environment.
Each item of equipment shall be checked for its suitability to resist a
horizontal force of 0.7 g (6.9 m./s2), in any direction and vertical force
of 1.0 + 0.2 g (9.8 m/s2) during sea transportation. Where equipment
is not adequate, brackets for attaching sea fastenings shall be provided by
the
Contractor.
The Contractor shall include these loads as an occasional load case in all
calculations for, but not limited to, Vessels, Vessel supports, Bases, Piping
stress analysis.
Where specific calculations are required for transport cradles etc., the
Contractor shall submit to the Company for approval.
The offered equipment along with their accessories shall be shipped
packed in wooden crates. They shall be wrapped with polyethylene sheets,

before being placed in the crates to prevent damage to finish. Crates shall
have skid bottom for handling.
