Sigma Coatings develops Crew Training Course
Over many years of delivering paints to ships, it has become clear that coating maintenance done on board leaves room for improvement. Whilst coatings are applied by professional applicators at newbuild stage or in dock, maintenance at sea is usually carried out by ships crew. Whilst their attitudes are not in doubt, their painting skills may need to be improved.
Ship operators also acknowledge that more value could be obtained from coatings applied on board ship. And Sigma Coatings is often requested to organise training sessions ashore for ship personnel. Although some crew training in this field is already done by ship owners and operators, the coatings suppliers themselves are best placed to train crew in carrying out coating maintenance work on board ships. Sigma Coatings have responded to the increased need for crew training by developing the Crew Training Course. The Crew Training Course is a computerbased training that provides crew with a thorough grounding in all processes involved when carrying out coating maintenance at sea, including safety, planning, surface preparation, paint preparation, paint application and housekeeping. In addition to these topics, the cd-rom contains a quiz at the end of each chapter as well as a presentation on ballast tank corrosion. Feedback from test-runs has been very positive. The crew training CD offers great value to us in improving the level of awareness amongst our crews for both application, technical issues and health and safety point of view. We will continue to use this valuable tool to assist us in the ongoing maintenance of our fleet, said Serco Denholms Brian Stirling. The Crew Training Course is part of the SigmaCare Package, which was developed to provide ship owners and operators with support services for all maintenance work done at sea. Through this package, Sigma Coatings aims to prove its vision of being a partner in the shipping industry rather than only a coating supplier. Anything that can be done to facilitate and improve the quality of the coating maintenance work done at sea will benefit all parties concerned. Please contact your local Sigma Coatings representative for more information.

Foster Yeoman operate a fleet of four self-discharging aggregate carriers of sizes varying from 43,700 to 96,772 DWT. The Yeoman Bridge and the Yeoman Bontrup are the worlds largest self-discharging vessels.
The Foster Yeoman fleet collect granite from their Glensanda coastal super quarry on the West coast of Scotland. The high performance reclaim, blending and ship loading facilities give 6,000 tonnes per hour throughput, which means that a typical 75,000 tonne loading can be achieved in under 24 hours. Sigma Coatings currently supplies Universal Primer and Sigma CM system for the lift room on the Yeoman Bank. Surface preparation was done by power tool cleaning. The cargo holds on all vessels are coated with Sigma Multiguard. This project started late last year and is scheduled for completion March 2004. Due to the very hard angular cargo, the coating system needs a high level of abrasion and impact resistance. The holds coated three years ago, although there are minor areas of mechanical damage, show that the coating system is still in excellent condition. The technical staff on board continuously monitor loading and unloading techniques and have reduced damage to the coating system through this.

Sigma Coatings representatives have surveyed the coatings on the Yeoman Bridge and regular visits are also made to update the maintenance manual and to give training to the crew (aided by use of the Sigma Coatings Crew Training Course).
Samsung Fine Chemicals and SigmaKalon join forces in Korea
Seoul/Amsterdam Samsung Fine Chemicals (SFC) and SigmaKalon recently announced that they have put their Korean coatings operations together into a Joint Venture Company. The joint venture company will be owned 40% by Samsung Fine Chemicals and 60% by SigmaKalon, through one of its affiliates. The company will be known as Sigma Samsung Coatings (SSC).

The new Joint Venture Sigma Samsung Coatings has been very successful so far and has resulted in an impressive number of newbuildings. An impression

OOCL Qingdao

Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Orient Overseas (International) Limited (OOIL). OOCL is one of the world's largest integrated international container transportation, logistics and terminal companies. The company has one of the youngest fleets in the world, containing 26 vessels. OOCL has currently six vessels on order, all to be built at Samsung Heavy Industries. The latest delivery for OOCL was that of the 8,100 TEU container carrier OOCL Qingdao, delivered in April 2004. Systems applied included SigmaPrime for the water ballast tanks and Sigma Alphagen for the underwater hull.
The 40,000 DWT handymax tanker MS Simon was recently delivered at Shin A Shipyard. The MS Simon is owned by Reederei Chemikalien Seetransport from Germany and will be managed by Maersk. The MS Simon was the second among a series of four handymax tankers to be built at Shin A Shipyard. Among the coating systems used were SigmaPrime on the hull and in the water ballast tanks, Sigma Phenguard in the cargo tanks, Sigma CM on the topsides and Sigma AlphaGen on the hull.

CMA CGM Mozart

The CMA CGM Mozart was one out of a series of four 5,700 TEU container carriers that were built for CMA CGM at Samsung Heavy Industries. She was delivered in June 2004 and coated with SigmaPrime in the water ballast tanks and Sigma AlphaGen on the underwater hull. Marseilles-based CMA CGM operates a fleet of 172 vessels, predominantly container carriers, of these 34 vessels are owned by CMA CGM.

Elbrus

Sigma Samsung Coatings also booked the M/V Elbrus, delivered at Hyundai Mipo Dock Yard in May 2004. The 37,000 DWT M/V Elbrus is the last one in a series of four chemical tankers to be built for Novoship.

Abram Schulte

The Abram Schulte is one out of six 73,000 DWT product tankers on order for PACC Ship Management at Samsung Heavy Industries. Two of which have already been delivered and sold to the German owner Bernard Schulte. Singapore-based PACC Ship Management is a full subsidiary of Pacific Carriers Limited (PCL). Among the systems used were SigmaPrime in the water ballast tanks, SigmaPrime and Sigmaguard EHB in the cargo tanks and Sigma AlphaGen for the underwater hull.
Sigma Samsung Coatings supplied Sigma AlphaGen for the underwater hull, whilst SigmaDur was used for the topsides, SigmaPrime in the water ballast tanks and Sigma Phenguard in the chemical tanks.

Sparto

The Sparto is the second one out of a series of two Aframax tankers built for ENESEL at Samsung Heavy Industries. She was delivered in July 2004 and systems applied included SigmaPrime for the water ballast tanks and Sigma AlphaGen for the underwater hull. The first one, Pantelis, was delivered early May.
Sigma Coatings successfully meets new technology FSO challenge
When ConocoPhillips made the decision to develop the Bayu Undan gas field, located off East Timor, it became clear that only with a revolutionary new design for a floating gas storage unit could this be realised. This marks a milestone for the oil industry which is concentrating more and more on gas production to supplement their usual oil output.
After tendering, the contract to build this unit was awarded to Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) in Korea. This unit accommodates 60 workers, is 248 metres long and 54 metres wide, 150.000 dwt and has a storage capacity of upto 225.000 m2 of condensate, butane and propane. It is only the second of this type ever to be built. Based on Sigma Coatings leading market position in the field of floating production and storage units (FPSOs) and our track record in the new construction market in general, Sigma Coatings succeeded to secure the order for full supply. In view of her 25 years field life under continuous operation, the requirements for the coating systems were very high. By specifying high-end systems, Sigma Coatings could however meet these requirements. Systems used on the underwater area include Sigma Multiguard Primer, Sigma Glassflake and Sigma AlphaGen. On the topsides, Sigma Multiguard Primer, Sigma Multiguard and Sigma Durashield ADS were applied. The water ballast tanks were coated with SigmaPrime. Whilst the unit is in service now and being well-protected by top-ofthe-range systems, the owner ConocoPhillips can confidently look forward to a reliable paint performance.

Enea Chemical Tanker Quartet supplied in full at Rousse Shipyard
Last year, Greek ship management company Enea Management signed a contract with Rousse Shipyard in Bulgaria for the construction of four chemical tankers. So far, two of these have been delivered, one asphalt tanker and one bitumen tanker. Among the coating systems used were Sigmas TBT-free antifoulings, SigmaPrime, Sigma CM and SigmaDur. Sigma Coatings also supplied its premium coating for potable water tanks: Sigmaguard CSF 85.
Sigmas West African network expanded
Sigma Coatings Nigeria Ltd. began operations in June 2003. Sigma Coatings has thereby reinforced its presence in the West-Africa region and will now be able to provide better service to its customers in the local oil and marine industry.
Sigma Coatings is the first among the major global marine paint suppliers to start a fully-owned affiliate in Nigeria and will market marine and protective coatings under the Sigma brand and decorative coatings under the brand La Seigneurie. The Sigma Coatings network in Africa now includes a sales office in Nigeria and production facilities in Gabon, South Africa, Cameroon, Senegal and Ivory Coast. Sigma Coatings Nigeria Ltd. is based in Port Harcourt, which is the centre of the oil industry in Nigeria (Rivers State). Sigma Coatings Nigeria has its warehouse and Color Network facility in the Onne Port Free Zone at West African Drydocks, the biggest drydock facility in Onne Port. Sigma Coatings carries out dry-docking supplies for its customers in Port Harcourt (West African Drydocks and Star Drydocks), Lagos (Continental Shipyard, Nigerdock PLC) and Douala, Cameroon. Among others, maintenance coatings have been supplied to Edison Chouest, Smit Nigeria Ltd. (Smit International), BallastHAM dredging, Dredging International, ABC Maritime, Surf (France), Eidesfik, Svitzer Wijsmuller (Maersk), Willbros, Walvis International, West African Ventures, Diesel Power Nigeria Ltd, Prosafe (Abo FPSO) Singapore, Eagle Cement, Slok Nigeria Ltd and Greekbased Azure Services Inc. Sigmas coating systems have also been supplied for the newbuilding of the topsides plant for the FPSO Erha (Exxon Mobil), of which parts are built in Nigeria. Among the systems used were Sigma Universal Primer, Sigma Multiguard, Sigma CM Coating, SigmaDur Gloss and Sigmas tin-free antifouling range. The modules will be shipped to Malaysia where final assembly will take place. Supplies in Abidjan (Ivory Coast), among others to Greek-based Azure Services Inc., reached about 30,000 litres in 2003 and the expectation is that this will continue to grow in the coming years. Sigmas marine coatings are generally available in two to three working days maximum. Key products from the Sigma Coatings marein assortment are in stock including alkyds, epoxies, polyurethanes and antifoulings and can be delivered directly to the main drydocking locations.

In February 2004, a Color Network machine was installed in the warehouse of Sigma Coatings Philippines Inc. This installation means that Sigma Coatings now have 80 locations in the world from which tintable marine coatings can be supplied in 750 special colours. Apart from being able to supply a wide range of colours, it also means that lead times are shortened as coatings made on dispenser will be ready for dispatch within 48 hours from receipt of order.

Sigma Ecofleet

cost-effective antifoulings
The marine market has been switching over to tin-free antifouling coatings over the course of the last 2 years following the IMO adoption of the IMO AFS Convention. Ahead of full ratification of this Convention, many shipowners have made the conscious decision to switch to tin-free technologies. While the high profile self-polishing, selfsmoothing tin-free antifouling technologies have been taking the spotlight, the necessity for more cost-effective products has also been recognised. Sigma Coatings now brings to the market a new range of antifouling products designed to facilitate conversion from the tin-containing SPCs.
The Sigma EcoFleet range is based around technologies to give products with better control over biocide release. Sigma Coatings chemists have identified raw materials and biocides that work well together to give coordinated polishing and biocide release and in so doing control fouling. The polishing mechanism derives from a combination of chemical and physical reactions of the coating after immersion with seawater. These effects occur in synchrony to release the biocides from the film and in so doing the film thickness is sequentially reduced the process referred to as polishing. Sigma EcoFleet antifouling coatings also have extra co-biocides to improve the fouling resistance, particularly against algae. Sigma EcoFleet film properties are good and 2-3 coats can be specified at dry film thicknesses up to 150 m. The leached layer is more controlled, and typical projected service lifetimes are up to 36 months while longer periods can be envisaged for particular conditions of service and/or areas on the vessel. Fouling control is further enhanced by tailoring the products to vessel type, adjusting both polishing rate and biocide composition to the intended operational performance. The Sigma EcoFleet antifoulings portfolio has products designed for high, medium and low activity vessels, giving a flexible, dependable solution at both newbuilding as well as at maintenance and repair. The range offers products suited to deep seaas well as coastal-operating vessels and for every market from fishing vessels to tankers, bulk carriers and container ships. The current Sigma EcoFleet portfolio comprises Sigma EcoFleet 238 The costeffective solution for fouling control on deep-sea ships Sigma EcoFleet 290 The all-round, proven solution for fouling control on deep-sea ships Sigma EcoFleet 530 The solution for fouling control on coastal ships
