The service life of current offshore platform coatings are normally less than 10 years. It is very expensive ($100/ft2) to rehabilitate the offshore platform coatings in the field. Therefore, facility owners are very anxious to select the long-life coatings. The candidate coatings are normally tested in the lab following the ISO 12944-91 or the AMPP TM216122 standard.
Rust creepage test is the most frequently used qualification test to assess the corrosion resistance of candidate offshore atmospheric coatings. End users and coating manufacturers are using either the ISO 12944-9 or AMPP TM21612 test standard to measure the rust creepage of candidate coating systems in the lab. The lab test results are used by end users for the offshore coating selection. Lots of effort are spending on this lab test without a good understanding of the mechanism. It takes six months to run the ISO 12944-9 test and three months to run AMPP 21612 test. It is of great advantage to understand the rust creepage mechanism. The purpose of this work is to study the underfilm corrosion to shed light on the rust creepage mechanism. With a good understanding of the mechanism, the coating manufacturers may speed up the development of successful protective coating systems for the offshore coating industry.
Offshore is a very corrosive environment with a high corrosion rate. The offshore coating service life is relatively short and extremely expensive to apply maintenance coatings onsite. A new accelerated coating corrosion test method is proposed.

This paper will cover the background of increasing regulations and audits, the reasons why many coatings and fireproofing systems prematurely fail, and also the solutions that may help address these issues that many operators face today.
A test protocol was developed to provide an assessment of the effects of various film defects as well as to perform post-exposure qualitative and quantitative evaluations on eight different coatings systems.
