During FY2003, a feasibility study evaluated the condition of coatings on a crude oil loading berth, analyzed the ramifications of coating failure, and performed life cycle economic comparisons of maintenance coating alternatives. The subject paper presents a summary of the coating inspection results as well as an alternative method to determine the effect of coating failure and corrosion on marine loading berths.
