Offshore
Safinah provides authoritative, expert advice on the whole chain of activities that links ships, structures, coatings and the environment.
In the offshore sector asset protection and longevity of coatings is critical.
There are only short maintenance windows available and the cost of process shutdown is formidable.
Our unique range of expertise means we can help you by minimizing potential problems in the design, specification and fabrication stages. We can evaluate the coating selection and maintenance programme to ensure performance through the life of the structure.
When a problem does arise, we can analyse and identify quickly the cause of the problem and recommend efficient and cost-effective solutions.
Case Study: Identifying the cause of paint failure and the cost and method of repair
The Client
Marine insurance company and leading loss adjusting firm.
The Project
Insurers faced a significant claim by a major oil company after a coating failure on an offshore structure.
Working on behalf of the insurers, Safinah was able to assess the nature of the failure and recommend an alternative solution reducing the claim value by 30%.
The Outcome
The claim was ultimately settled for the amount stipulated by Safinah and Safinah was awarded the contract for five other similar structures with coating problems.
