Inspection Report
The coating was in excellent condition. It was free from blisters and integrally sound. There were a small number of mechanical defects, particularly in the manway area. It was assumed these were cause during the inspection/cleanout. Minor repairs were executed to these areas by the Corrocoat application team. Full spark testing was carried out prior to the vessel being returned to service.
