Many industries are operating under severely limited O&M budgets and have been for some time. “Lean and mean” in today’s reality has become “mal-nourished and over stressed”. The last major corrosion study conducted in our industry showed a $276 Billion/Yr. deficit of which 75% was unrecoverable. Now a new study has determined that it is never too late to restore measurable viability to a facility's operation through adequate and proper preventive maintenance. This is good news, providing we can adequately demonstrate and use it.
Computerized maintenance painting management programs are used to inventory painted items, maintain historical coating data, optimize the scheduling of painting activities, and develop budget estimates for the work. While the sophisticated programs are quite effective, their true benefit is not realized unless someone takes ownership of the program, updates the data every few years, and uses the wealth of planning information that is available.

This paper will offer general guidance regarding preservation by liquid applied coatings to the owners and operators of coastal and inland working vessels. The paper will discuss both new construction and maintenance painting and will offer suggested coating systems for the main areas of these vessels.
Every year millions of dollars are spent litigating the responsibility issues associated with the repair or replacement of coated products that have prematurely lost their decorative or protective value due to improper coating specification or application. Many of these failures could have been avoided if the proper finishing materials and methods were specified, followed, certified and documented.
