Euronavy References 

Marine & Offshore

SUMMARY 

This document includes a list of offshore and marine industry projects that used Euronavy coating systems (Appendix 1). 

The listed projects account for more than 64 million square feet of steel treated with over one million gallons of ES301 

solvent-free products since 2000. Taking into account historical marine & offshore projects using ES301 since the early 

90’s, with the dispersed sale of these products for numerous OEM’s and contractors and with the sales for on-shore 

industrial uses (including oil & gas and energy industries, steel bridges and other steel structures), Euronavy estimates 

that over 120 million square feet of steel have been protected with ES301 systems. 

For each project, the table details the project type and data such as type and dimension of areas coated, surface 

preparation method(s) and year and location of application. These projects include maintenance & repair, conversion and 

new building jobs. All the projects used ES301 solvent-free surface & humidity tolerant coatings as the main anticorrosive 

system. Ultra High Pressure hydroblasting was widely used as surface preparation method. 

An ES301-based coating system has been Type Approved as IMO PSPC 1 compliant. The IMO PSPC is the new set of 

rules for the protective coatings selection and application for ballast tanks at new building stage. Being one of the first 

coating systems becoming Type Approved under such stringent prequalification rules enables Euronavy to position itself 

as the forerunner in the marine new building market for protective coatings. The results of such positioning will surely be 

reflected in an updated reference list in the near future. 

1 

IMO PSPC refers to the Resolution MSC.215(82) of IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee adopted on 8 December 2006, 

designated PERFORMANCE STANDARD FOR PROTECTIVE COATINGS FOR DEDICATED SEAWATER BALLAST 

TANKS IN ALL TYPES OF SHIPS AND DOUBLE-SIDE SKIN SPACES OF BULK CARRIERS

U.S. NAVY (USA) 

ES301 coating system was one of the few 

coating systems going through extensive 

evaluation since 1994, when DoD Department 

NAVSEA 05M launched a program aimed to 

review all blasting and painting procedures for 

the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Coast Guard, in 

order to improve the service life of traditional 

coating protection being applied so far. As 

a result, NAVSEA has already published 

extensive new specifications for coating 

onboard U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard 

ships and is now trying to disseminate the new 

standards through the U.S. Navy fleet. ES301 

was approved for the most demanding areas 

and is listed in the Advanced Coatings List 

by Navsea. ES301 is approved as a 20-year 

service life coating system for ballast tanks. It is the only system approved for ballast tanks when hydroblasting is to be 

used as surface preparation and is approved by the most stringent standard for coating qualification for ships: the 

MIL-PRF 23236C standard. 

The information regarding the numerous ships using ES301 (for ballast tanks, bilges and other areas where it is approved 

for use) is not available. Nevertheless, abundant technical information and some inspection reports by independent 

sources can be supplied upon request. 

PEMEX (MEXICO) 

Euronavy products are included in PEMEX Standards & 

Specifications for Anticorrosive Protection. Oil rig PSS Chemul 

(Mobile, AL, USA, 2005) is a recent example, ES301 system 

being used for a full refurbishment and life extension project. 

Pemex is also using ES301 for general maintenance onboard 

ships and offshore platforms in Gulf of Mexico. 

PSS Chemul

PETROBRAS AND TRANSPETRO (BRAZIL) 

Petrobras tested and 

thoroughly evaluated 

Euronavy products. 

The result was the 

recognition of the superior 

performance of the 

Euronavy products, and 

its specification and use in 

Petrobras Projects in USA, 

Europe, Singapore, Brazil 

and many other locations 

in the world. (Platforms, 

Ships, Equipments, etc.). 

More than 43 million SF 2 

have been coated with 

ES301 at Petrobras and 

Transpetro projects.

(Keppel Fels) and totally protected with Euronavy coating systems 

MT Cartola cargo tanks, after 

treatment in 2002 

Transpetro is the Petrobras-owned oil & gas products transportation company and 

manages a fleet of product carriers. Transpetro has been using ES301 coating system 

for several years now, mostly for ballast and cargo tanks repair. One good example is 

the crude cargo tanks of MT Ataulfo Alves, fully refurbished in 2002 using hydroblasting 

and ES301 coating system. An inspection performed in 2008 by ABS, more than 

5 years after coating application, found the surface in pristine condition, proving 

the outstanding performance of Euronavy ES301 coating system for anticorrosive 

protection.

AKER 

Aker Floating Production ASA, a subsidiary of Aker 

Group, recently launched its FPSO conversion 

program. The first FPSO being converted by Aker 

is the Aker Smart 1. This project started in 2007 

at Jurong Shipyard in Singapore and Euronavy 

was chosen as single coating supplier for the hull 

conversion. Thanks to the ES301 coating system, 

hydroblasting is being used as the main surface 

preparation method for this project. The scope of 

supply includes modules fabrication in Malaysia and 

Indonesia, apart from the activities in Singapore.

BP 

BP’s Thunder Horse semi-sub, offshore in 

the Gulf of Mexico, used ES301 system 

for deck refurbishment. It was applied in 

2006 using UHP hydroblasting as surface 

preparation method. The advantage of 

the system was well received in such a 

situation: the painting job was performed 

during the night with very high humidity 

levels. This humidity tolerance feature, 

together with the ability of reaching 

effective adhesion values over surfaces with 

reduced profile of roughness, have been 

the main causes for the adoption of ES301 

technology.

TRANSOCEAN (USA) 

Discoverer 534 drill ship 

Transocean had chosen the ES301 system for the refurbishment of the 

tanks of the Discoverer 534 drill ship in 2007 (Sembawang Shipyard, 

Singapore), using hydroblasting as surface preparation method. The 

quality of the protection after application 

(namely the pull-off tests) and the quality 

of technical service from Euronavy have 

been praised by Transocean’s project 

team. Thanks to the good feedback 

obtained from the D534 project, ES301 & 

hydroblasting concept was again chosen 

for the refurbishment of the Seven Seas drill 

ship in 2008 (again in Singapore) and for an 

extensive tank repair job at the tanks of the Nordic jack up 

Nordic jack up (Malaysia, 2008). 

QUEIROZ GALVÃO (BRAZIL) 

Queiroz Galvão Oleo e 

Gas has been engaged in 

offshore drilling and oil & gas 

exploration since the 80’s and 

started using ES301 system 

in the 90’s for the repair of 

the Alaskan Star oil rig. As 

of June 2008, the ES301 

coating system, together 

with hydroblasting surface 

preparation, is being used 

as the main anticorrosive 

system for the oil rig Olinda 

Star refurbishment project 

(Maua shipyard, Niteroi, 

Brazil). This project was 

completed in early 2009 

and used Euronavy systems 

for all areas of the platform 

(tanks, legs, deck, new steel 

structures, etc).

refurbished in Maua Shipyard, Brazil,

HDW (GERMANY) AND PORTUGUESE NAVY 

Euronavy coating systems have been 

selected for the coating of most of the areas 

of the new Type 209PN submarines for the 

Portuguese Navy being built in the HDW 

shipyard in Kiel, Germany. Two submarines 

are now being built, with a third one as an 

option. ES301 solvent-free coating system 

is being used for critical areas and was 

submitted to extensive testing in Germany. 

SHIPYARDS
