Training Course in Assistant to Coating Inspectors

The resolutions concerning Performance Standards for Protective Coatings (PSPC) for dedicated seawater ballast tanks in all types of ships, cargo oil tanks of crude oil tankers, etc. has been adopted by IMO and already entered into force. As required by PSPC, coating inspections must be carried out by the qualified coating inspectors certified to FROSIO* Level III, NACE Level 2 or equivalent as verified by the Administration. Due to huge volume of such inspections, IMO accepts use of “Assistant to Coating Inspectors” who supports/performs part of the inspections under the coating inspector’s supervision subject to be trained to the coating inspector’s satisfaction.
