The APC Technical Team recently completed a MarineMEND Training session for Odfjell SE in Manila, Philippines. The training session focused on maintenance in the cargo tanks where the coating has been damaged mechanically, enabling the crew to fix the coating and keep it in pristine operational condition. We're thrilled to be able to offer this hands-on service to our customers and crews sailing with MarineLINE. Christopher Stene, Manager Material Protection Group, Technology Section, shares his thoughts on the session: Odfjell has used APC’s Marine products for cargo tanks, with a focus on MarineLINE 784. This cargo tank coating is highly resistant to most cargoes in the market, especially aggressive cargoes like methanol. This summer, 14 Odfjell seafarers participated in a comprehensive training session conducted by Advanced Polymer Coating's (APC) Technical Team in Manila. This special training session focused on maintenance in the cargo tanks where the coating has been damaged mechanically. A special repair kit produced by APC called MarineMEND Repair Kits was used during this training. We have six vessels in our fleet with MarineLINE coating, four of which are 100% coated with MarineLINE. “This immersive training is essential for maintaining the integrity and performance of MarineLINE coatings, ensuring the longevity and safety of our vessels,” says Christopher Stene, Manager Material Protection Group, Technology Section. Daniel Liu, APC's Regional Technical Services Manager, conducted the training. The participants gained both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. The course covered the entire repair process, from surface preparation to applying two coats of the repair kit and heat curing with a silicone heating pad. "This training has empowered our crew with the skills and knowledge needed for future spot repairs using MarineMEND Repair Kits. With this new expertise, they can maintain MarineLINE coatings in optimal condition, ensuring vessel efficiency," a very pleased Christopher said when evaluating the course. “We look forward to conducting more such training sessions to enhance the skills of our crews and promote excellence in vessel maintenance.”
