section shall be shot / grit blasted at the state of raw material :

a. All steel surface of plates and section of 6 mm and above in thickness for hull
structural member, which are to be coated with paint, except brackets , carling ,
etc. which will be taken from small steel pieces.

b. The inside of hull structural tanks for fuel oil , diesel oil , lubricating and other
oil for machinery use.

Generally, the grade of surface preparation shall be Sa 2 1/2 of SIS ( Swedish Standard
SIS 05 59 00 - 1986 ) for steel plates and sections.
