Conseil Europeén de l'industrie des Pintures, des Encres d'imprimerie et des Couleurs d'Art (CEPE)

To provide urgent technical assistance to develop a definitive scenario model for anti-fouling environmental impacts at the new build and repair phases of ships, leisure craft and aqua culture.

This European Consortium commissioned Safinah to develop the emission scenario and to provide input into an OECD report being prepared by third party consultants.

The analysis carried out was the first of its kind.

Safinah created a model to look at a range of facilities from good to poor and developed emissions ratings and scenarios for an overall assessment.

Safinah's team met the tight time schedule requested.

The report findings were incorporated into the final OECD report, which is available through the European Chemicals Bureau at ecb.jrc.it/biocides.

To provide an independent view on proposed IMO regulations on anti-corrosion measures to be implemented for the world's fleet.

Safinah used its world-wide network of clients and shareholders to obtain up to the minute assessments from over 7 major shipbuilding nations.

They identified the key problem areas and challenges being imposed by the regulations proposed as well as identifying points of weakness/contradictions within the regulations themselves.

The passive fire protection systems on both the fabric and production facilities of this major refining site had failed.

Safinah carried out an in depth investigation into the cause of the failure and solutions to restore the first of the three different systems used.

The first system has been restored and the client is completely satisfied with the work.

As a result, Safinah has been re-appointed for the assessment of the remaining two systems, as the sole independent assessor by both parties involved in the claim.
