TS Royalist, Training Ship – Black Water Tank Lining

TS Royalist, Training Ship – Black Water Tank Lining We were contacted by The Marine Society & Sea Cadets to complete some works on-board the square rigger sailing ship TS Royalist. We were asked to line a black water tank located deep in the bilges of the ship and also apply a protective anti-slip coating to the coach roof on the deck of the ship, as part of an extensive refit of the whole vessel. . The tank had previously contained grey water, but to comply with current Maritime Regulations they were required to store all black water on-board. Access to the tanks was via two narrow manholes at the top of the tank, either side of a bulkhead. Each one of the access points was only 7” x 28”. Within the tank there are internal baffles that split the tank into 4 sections, with small openings between the tank sections. Both areas were abrasive grit blasted, cleaned by vacuum and then received multiple coats of a chemically resistant resin. Each coat of resin was applied in different colours to ensure complete coverage with each coat.
