Note Some metals and alloys have two positions in the series, marked Active and
Passive; the active position is equivalent to the position if corrosion is occurring and
approaches the electro-chemical series position for the material. The passive
position relates to a non-corroding situation where the material is protected by a
self-forming surface film. For example, type 316 stainless steel in seawater is more
likely to be passive than type 304 and is therefore generally preferred for immersed
marine applications.
If two metals are placed in an electrolyte (e.g. sea water or damp soil) and are in
direct electrical contact, a current will pass through the electrolyte from the more
active metal onto the least active metal. The least active metal does not corrode and
is termed the cathode. The more active metal, the anode, passes into solution and
the flow of electrical current increases. This is a metal ion and electron transfer
process i.e., it corrodes.
This simple cell may be represented as:
The Anodic and Cathodic areas in a corrosion cell may be due to the electrical
contact of two dissimilar metals, termed galvanic corrosion. Anodic and Cathodic
areas may be formed on a single metal surface as micro-cells for instance by
raindrops on uncoated steel. Alternatively, they may be close but discrete cells
found when accelerated corrosion occurs at uncoated Anodic areas on a generally
coated cathodic structure. In addition there are long line type cells that occur on
pipelines that pass through aggressive low resistivity soils. These sections form
Anodic areas and corrode in preference to cathodic areas in less aggressive higher
resistivity soils.
Large currents can occur at small Anodic areas and lead to rapid corrosion of
marine structures such as ship's internal tanks, external hull plates, sheet steel
piling in harbours and tubular structures common in jetties and petrochemical drilling
and production platforms.
As described above, a galvanic corrosion cell occurs when dissimilar metals are in
contact with each other within an electrolyte. Care should be taken in the
construction of structures that will be buried or immersed in an electrolyte to ensure
a galvanic cell is not created.
a) Steel or cast iron water boxes in contact with non-ferrous (often copper based) tube
plates in condenser water boxes in ships or generating plant. Rapid corrosion of the
ferrous water box occurs close to the tube plate.
b) Brass or bronze valves fitted to immersed steel buoyancy tanks or flooding
chambers on marine petrochemical structures. Accelerated corrosion of the steel
occurs near the valve.
The connection of steel pipes into an otherwise cast iron system. Accelerated
corrosion of the steel occurs near the cast iron sections.
Sacrificial anode cathodic protection achieves corrosion prevention on a particular
structure or component by forming a galvanic cell where an additional anode of zinc,
magnesium or aluminium corrodes in preference to the structure. The galvanic
corrosion current (see simple cell before) available from this anode / electrolyte /
structure combination should be sufficient to overcome the local surface corrosion
currents on the structure until no current flows from Anodic areas of the structure i.e.
the structure is entirely cathodic or under complete cathodic protection.
The potential, or measure of activity, between the structure and the electrolyte is a
relatively easily measured indication of whether the structure is Anodic or cathodic.
For steel under normal non-anaerobic conditions it can be shown theoretically, and
is accepted practically, that a steel/electrolyte potential more negative than -0.85
volts measured against a standard copper/copper sulphate electrode indicates that
cathodic protection is achieved. This is equivalent to -0.80 volts measured against
silver / silver chloride electrode and + 0.24 volts against a zinc electrode as
indicated in figure 1.3.
A source of direct current is required; this is generally obtained from mains power
units that contain a transformer and rectifier. The magnitude of this current may be
automatically controlled in response to a continuous monitor of the cathode /
electrolyte potential or may be manually controlled after intermittent measurement.
Generally, for a given current demand, less impressed current anodes than
sacrificial anodes are required for protection, as high anode currents are feasible.
Impressed current systems of cathodic protection are more sophisticated in design
than sacrificial systems.
Figure 1.3 - Comparison of Reference Electrodes & Interpretation
The function of the anode is to conduct the D.C. protective current into the sea
water. Anodes have been designed to perform this function whilst maintaining a low
electrical resistance contact with the seawater. Recessed flush mounted anodes are
available from 5 to 20 Ampere ratings.
Materials now used by Minitek for Anodes have now gone beyond lead alloy with
specialist coated titanium based Anodes now available. All Minitek anode designs
utilise a tough, chlorine resistant, but slightly flexible plastic carrier.
The use of a 24volt system reduces the number and length of the anodes from that
required with a 12volt system. The increased anode/sea water resistance resulting
from this decrease in anode size is overcome by the additional voltage.
Recommended cable sizes for various run lengths are tabulated in section 3.5.
The potential of the hull steel to the sea water is unaffected by this increase in
driving voltage, as the resistive effects are local to the anode and the hull/sea
potential is a function of the current flow, the sea water and the coating condition,
not the driving voltage.
The electrical connections to the active surface are made at the back of the anode
and are protected by the hull penetration.
All hull penetrations are provided with substantial cofferdams. The penetrations
themselves are made watertight with heavy-duty packing glands, the cofferdams are
fully sealed and provided with watertight cable glands, all conforming to the
requirements of Classification Societies.
2.2.2 Impressed Current Reference Electrodes.
The high purity, high stability, zinc reference electrodes are designed to give a
stable reference against which the hull/sea potentials can be measured and a small
current flow that is used in the closed loop circuit to maintain the pre-set levels of
protection.
The construction and the quantity of zinc employed within the electrodes are such
that a minimum life of fifteen years is available without maintenance or replacement.
The minimum number of reference electrodes per power supply is one, ideally two
reference electrodes are utilised. Ideally, these should be located a minimum of 7.5
metres distant from the anodes and any sea-chest / sea water inlet. If the reference
electrodes are to be placed closer to the sea-chest / sea water inlet than indicated,
prior approval from Cathelco must be obtained.
A novel feature of the Minitek closed circuit is that additional reference cells may be
placed at areas that may be susceptible to over-protection such as adjacent to the
anode dielectric shields. These additional reference cells provide a permanent
check, thus preventing any coating damage due to over-protection if conditions of
operation change from those anticipated. This feature is offered as an optional extra
to the standard schemes.
All hull penetrations are provided with substantial cofferdams. The penetrations
themselves are made watertight with packing glands. The cofferdams are fully
sealed and provided with watertight cable glands all conforming to the requirements
of the Classification Societies.
The Impressed Current Cathodic Protection power supply unit is a system housed in
a standard bulwark mounting cabinet supported by a plinth, illustrated on drawing
C102832M. The system comprises of a control module and a power unit, with
standard output ratings in multiples of 10 amperes, i.e. 10, 20, up to 40 amperes.
Systems larger than 40 amperes will require more than one cabinet. The supply
requirements range from 110VAC – 440VAC +/-10%, 1/2 phase, 50/60 Hz.
The control module, mounted in the top right corner of the cabinet, is a micro-
processor based system having a 2 line 16 character backlit LCD display. The
display is used to monitor and allow control of the system. Below the LCD are four
push buttons, which are the controls for changing the system parameters.
2.2.4 Bonding
To allow protection of the bare propeller and any exposed shafting and to prevent
electrical arcing between shaft and bearings the propeller shaft is fitted with a slip-
ring assembly. A set of brushes, provide the completion of a low resistance path to
allow current to flow to the propeller blades along the shaft and back to the hull. The
slip-ring is formed from a copper strip clamped around the shaft with high copper
content heavy current capacity brushes held in geared brush holders. The Cathelco
slip-ring track is silver plated as standard and in addition silver graphite brushes are
used to minimise contact resistance.
3.0 INSTALLATION OF EQUIPMENT:
3.0.1 Description:
The Minitek Impressed Current System consists of anodes and electrodes for
installation through the hull using penetration and cofferdam arrangements, a power
supply unit for location internally and bonding arrangements for appendages such
as propeller and rudder. The system uses identical cofferdams for both anodes and
reference electrodes.
3.0.2 Locations for components are shown on the drawings supplied for the particular
vessel, but are normally subject to final confirmation between the Minitek engineer
on site and the client.
3.0.3 It is very important that the installation instructions given are followed. The biggest
cause of future problems found with the running of impressed current systems is
incorrect installation. Should any problems occur during installation of this system or
should any instruction appear unclear please contact Cathelco for advice.
3.3 20A MINITEK ANODE
3.3.1 Cut a 177mm diameter hole in the hull at each anode location. Refer to Drawing
C100841.
Grind off any surplus metal to ensure a smooth surface around the hole inside and
out, so that the anode housing body will locate centrally inside the hole in the shell
plating at the inboard side of the hole. Profile the inner and outer edges for welding.
Clean off all weld splatter from the surfaces including the cofferdam recess, and
grind flat all welds in the area to be occupied by the anode.
Ensure that the neoprene sealing ‘O’ ring is on the back of the anode assembly and
that the inside of the cofferdam recess into which the anode will fit is clean and dry.
3.3.2 Apply the two-part epoxy mastic, in a one part to one part mix, and screw the anode
firmly into place in the cofferdam using a socket wrench ensuring that the locator pin
is correctly positioned.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN AND ONLY USE THE EPOXY MASTIC SUPPLIED BY
CATHELCO. THE TWO PART EPOXY MASTIC WILL ONLY CURE CORRECTLY
IN A MINIMUM AIR TEMPERATURE OF 10 DEGREES CELSIUS. USE AIR
HEATERS IF REQUIRED BUT DO NOT APPLY DIRECT HEAT TO THE MASTIC.
3.3.3 Inside the ship, remove the screw cap from the Cofferdam and feed the cable
through the cable gland and secure.
3.3.4 On completion of the inspection caulk the gap between the anode and the
cofferdam with sealing compound, to leave a smooth uniform surface.
3.3.5 Fit the locking nut on the anode mounting screw and tighten.
3.3.6 Pass the cable through the front entry hole in the cofferdam.
3.3.7 Apply thread tape to the anode cable gland, and pass the gland over the anode
cable to fit it into position outside the cofferdam as shown in the drawing. Tighten
the main body fully into position then tighten onto the cable leaving slack cable
inside the cofferdam.
3.3.8 Fit a junction box (if fitted) at some convenient point adjacent to the cofferdam and
connect the anode cable to the power supply unit via shipyard supplied cable, see
power supply unit instructions in section 3.5 for clarification.
3.3.9 Check installation of the anode connection circuit to the hull using 500 Volt earth
insulation meter only if the anode is NOT submerged. The result should give an
open circuit.
3.3.11 Make a final visual check of all connections and finally fit the cable gland to seal the
cofferdam.
3.3.12 Before proceeding further, ensure that all other welding work, either inboard or
outboard, has been completed for the entire area to be covered by the di-electric
shield. Any welding carried out after the application of the di-electric shield will
damage the shield material even if the welding is not associated with the cathodic
protection system.
3.3.13 The diameter of the primary di-electric shield is 1400mm for a 20 amperes rated
anode. Refer to drawing C102778M.
Inspect the area to be covered and grind off all weld splatter, and surplus weld
material to a smooth profile.
Remove all oil and grease from the area using clean, dry, oil free rags soaked in a
hydrocarbon solvent such as Xyol, Yoluene or white spirit, do not use petrol or
paraffin. Change the rags frequently to avoid merely spreading contamination.
3.3.14 Ensure that the anode face is protected with masking tape or similar. Abrasive
blast-clean the entire area to a white metal finish, SA 2 1/2 Swedish standard using
grit or sand. Check the surface profile height using test tape and that it is within the
range 50 - 70 microns.
3.3.15 Form the primary di-electric shield by applying the two-part epoxy mastic within four
hours of blasting and before the formation of any visible rust bloom. If the blasted
area is to be exposed for longer than four hours prior to the application of the shield
an epoxy primer must be used to coat the surface prior to the di-electric shield
application. It is recommended to directly coat the di-electric into the blasted area
wherever possible. Technical details and health precautions for the epoxy mastic
are available on request from Cathelco.
3.3.16 Thoroughly mix the contents of each can before mixing the two parts together.
Follow the mixing instructions on the epoxy mastic material packs, using a power
driven mixer if possible,
3.3.17 Apply by trowel to produce a film 4mm thick at the edge of the anode surface
tapering to 1mm thick at the shield edge. Form a circular shield of mastic of the
minimum radius (see 3.3.13). A one-coat application is essential.
3.3.18 Ensure that the two part epoxy mastic covers the resin of the anode but do not allow
epoxy mastic on the metal anode face. Allow the mastic to harden fully before
painting over. Remember to remove the protective tape from the surface of the
anode.
3.3.19 A secondary di-electric shield area should be formed around the primary shield area
from a thicker coating of the hull paint. Drawing C102778M shows both the primary
and secondary shield areas.
3.3.20 If the shield area is to be over painted, an epoxy tie-coat must be applied over the
di-electric filler prior to over-coating.
3.4 DIVER CHANGE REFERENCE ELECTRODE
Description
d) The cable enters the cofferdam through the cofferdam lid. A cable
gland provides a water tight seal for the cable. The cofferdam cover plate
and gasket is to be fastened to the cofferdam with six M8 x 30 bolts to
make a water tight seal for the cofferdam.
The "General Arrangement of ICCP System" drawing shows where the reference
electrodes are to be situated on the hull.
3.4.01 Cut a 127mm diameter hole in the hull at each reference electrode
location to permit the cofferdam to be inserted. Prepare the hole for
welding by bevelling the outside edge of the hole.
3.4.03 Secure the cofferdam in the position by a continuous fillet weld both
internally and externally to give a weld section at least equal to the
plating thickness. Weld the cofferdam in place so that the outside
face is flush to the outside of the hull. Grind the protruding weld
around the cofferdam flush with the hull before painting the base
plate with two coats of primer of the same quality as the underwater
hull.
3.4.05 Ensure that the back of the reference electrode assembly and the
inside of the base plate recess into which the electrode will fit is clean
and dry.
3.4.06 Insert the reference electrode and assemble the inside parts according
to the assembly drawing in the following order. Polyethylene washer,
M12 washer wide, M12 nut, M12 washer, Cable shoe with cable
attached (Yard Supply), M12 washer and M12 Nyloc Nut.
3.4.07 Tighten all M12 nuts to 1.5 kpm (15 Nm) using a torque wrench.
Cabling. Typical cable size is 1 core x 4mm2. Enter the cable from the rectifier
through the cable gland and sealing washer. The cable gland is to be
fitted on the outside of the cofferdam where the cables are run in an
open area. Where the cable is run through a pipe the cable gland and
sealing washer is to be fitted inside of the cofferdam.
3.4.08 Please ensure that if the vessel is going to be stood in water for a long
period of time during the outfitting period, the reference cells are
NOT to be connected to panel until the ICCP system is commissioned.
If the system is to be switched off after commissioning the reference
cells should be disconnected and only reconnected when the system is
to be switched on. When the system is to be left off for any prolonged
period of time Cathelco should be contacted for further details.
3.4.09 Fit the cofferdam gasket and fasten the cover plate with six M8 x 30
mm long bolts. Vertical cable pipes on the foreship shall be filled with
dry sand.
3.5.1 The units are designed for bulkhead mounting supported by a plinth, typically using
the mounting holes provided.
3.5.2 To ensure adequate ventilation it is recommended that an air gap be maintained all
around the equipment for all units.
3.5.3 Provide and install appropriate input power supply cables, terminating them at the
terminals provided. Check that the supply source conforms to the voltage, phase
and frequency specification given on the rating plate of the equipment.
Provide and terminate single core cables with a voltage rating in excess of 24V d.c.
from the anode cofferdams to the appropriately labelled connection studs on the
terminal board. Equivalent area multi-core cables may be used with all cores
connected. The cables should be sized according to the following table to ensure
that the maximum voltage drop in each cable is equal and does not exceed 2 volts.
Table of cable lengths for different anode size to maintain 2 volt drop
Provide and install a cable between the Hull negative terminal on the equipment and
the main ship structure on a stud of minimum M12 welded to a plate on not less
than 50 X 50 X 4mm typically, 1 x 10mm2 Core Cable. It is recommended that these
cables be able to carry the full rated output capacity of the Power Supply Unit. This
Cathode Earth must be at least 2M from the Reference Earth.
3.5.4 Provide and terminate single core screened cables with a sectional area of
minimum 4mm2 from the reference electrode junction boxes to the appropriately
labelled terminals on the distribution board within the equipment. The metallic braid
screens of these cables should be continuous and be connected to the 'Ground'
terminal only on the terminal plate within the power unit. Do not connect the screen
at the junction box end. Refer to drawing C102874M for a 2 Anode, 2 Ref Cell
system or drawing C103728M for a 4 Anode, 2 Ref Cell system.
3.5.5 Either of the reference electrode earth- screen terminals should be earthed to the
ships hull using a 4 or 6mm2 Core Cable.
3.5.6 Provide and install a connection to the ship's earthing system from the cubicle earth
stud, typically 1 X 6mm² Core Cable.
NOTE - Reference Earth must not be used for the main earth and must be a
separate cable from the AC earth and anode return cable.
3.6.01. The propeller shaft bonding kit comprises a split slipring and brush
assembly that must be fitted close to the final shaft bearing, ideally
between the bearing and and stern seal (where space permits). A
mounting bracket or support pillar for the brush holder should be
supplied by the yard and mounted to a suitable frame or bearing
pedestal, Ensure that the mating faces are cleaned to bright metal before
fixing in position. For the General Arrangement of the Shaft Earthing
Assembly see Drg.M1191.
3.6.02. The brushgear unit is shown on Drg C1181 or C2144 dependant on the
type supplied (See Drg list in this manual). Weld into position on the
support pillar a brushgear support bar of the correct size at the correct
distance from the centre of the bar to the the outside diameter of the slip-
ring (See Drg). The centre of the bar should be parallel to the axis of the
shaft in both planes.
3.6.03. Mark a line around the shaft at approximately 60mm spacing from the
bearing block, ensuring that this is perpendicular to the axis of the shaft.
Thoroughly clean the shaft down to bright metal to a distance of 80mm
from this line away from the bearing block.
3.6.04. The slipring is made up of two matching bi-metal strips that are rolled to
the required shaft diameter. All sliprings are supplied slightly oversized
to allow some degree of tolerance for final fitting. All excess material
shall be removed by filing down at the joint faces, see Drg. M1191 for
details.
3.6.05. Ensure the shaft surface & inside face of the slip ring are clean and free
from raised imperfections. Loosely fit the clamps to the shaft and fit the
2 halves of the slip ring inside the clamps. Ensure the end of one of the
slip rings is butted tightly to the other half, allowing the other end to
overlap the adjacent half ring.
3.6.06. Tighten the clamps carefully, ensuring the two halves of the ring remain
in alignment. Do not overtighten the clamps at this stage. Using the edge
of the overlapping ring as a guide, mark the cutting line onto the surface
of the other half ring.
3.6.07. Carefully remove the excess material, taking care not to distort or mark
the ring, and remove all sharp edges. Re-assemble and recheck,
adjusting the fit by filing the ends of the half rings as necessary.
3.6.08. Once completed, thoroughly re-clean the inside of the slipring and shaft
and immediately fit to the shaft to ensure that no further contamination
of the cleaned surfaces takes place. Refer to Drg M1191. Carefully
check that there is no gap between the shaft and the slip ring, as this
would adversely affect the functioning of the system.
3.6.10. Check the continuity between the shaft and the silver strip inlay with a
calibrated multimeter. The reading should be a maximum of 0.1 ohms.
3.6.11. Fit the brush holder as shown on the drawing to the support bar and
align the assembly so that the brushes will run centrally on the silver
track of the slipring. Check that the brushgear assembly will be clear of
the slipring securing brackets when the shaft rotates. Secure the
assembly in this position by tightening the hexagon headed bolt at the
top of the brushgear body.
3.6.12. Ensure that each brush is mounted tangentially to the shaft to avoid
uneven wear. Adjustment is provided by means of alignment bolts – see
appropriate drg of Brush holder for details.
3.6.13. Pull back the pressure spring on the brush holders and fit the brushes
into position. Recheck & adjust the brush gear as necessary until the
brushes sit correctly on the slipring. Ensure the brushes are free to move
in the holder.
3.6.14. Connect the wires from the brushes to the two hexagon headed bolts on
the brushgear.
3.6.15. Check the continuity between the shaft and the brush holder body with a
calibrated multimeter. The reading should be a maximum of 0.7 ohms.
3.6.17. Check the continuity between the shaft and the final hull earthing point
with a calibrated multimeter. The reading should be less than 1.0 ohms.
3.6.19. Every week it is recommended that the following checks are carried out:
a) Electrical Continuity between Shaft & Hull earth point <=1.0 ohms.
d) Clean and check brushes for wear and check freedom of movement in
holders.
3.6.20. Please note that the silver graphite brushes are a consumable item, and
depending on the rpm of the shaft, shaft diameter and the running hours,
the brushes will wear and require replacing on average at 4 to 6 monthly
intervals. Ensure that the brushes are regularly inspected and replaced
before they are totally consumed, otherwise the shaft earthing assembly
will not operate correctly.
3.7.1 The rudder stock must be grounded using the flexible cable
provided
3.7.2 Securely fix one end to the hull or overhead frame work .
3.7.3 Weld or braze a suitable lug to the top of the rudder stock and

read as follows: -
Pressing the ENT button will then exit from the configuration mode, resetting the
whole system. If the CTRL button is pressed, then it will cancel the quit request and
return to the configuration menu.
4.2 SELF CHECKING:
4.2.1 Every 8 hours & upon entry to manual & automatic modes, timed from the last
power up, the system automatically enters a self test mode. This mode checks the
correct function of anodes and electrodes and lasts approximately 10 seconds.
During this time the display reads:-
SELF TEST
PLEASE WAIT
The power output is shut down to zero and the potential from each of the system
electrodes is measured. Output current is the ramped to 50% of system capacity
over a 5 second period. At the start (0A) and at every 1 second interval the potential
from each of the system electrodes is measured. During this test the output voltage
required to deliver the current is also monitored. If the output voltage at 50% current
output exceeds 20V, then the system is deemed to be operating in non-standard
sea-water and the results of the test are ignored, with the test repeated after a
further 8 hour period. Any electrode that returns a potential of less than 100mV at
zero current output and doesn’t alter its potential by at least 30mV when 50 %
output is achieved is deemed to have failed.
Signals from electrodes that have not passed the test are suspended from the
control function for the next 8 hour period and an alarm generated to indicate an
electrode fault. The test is repeated automatically on all electrodes (including those
that have previously been suspended) after an 8 hour interval.
The Cathelco Minitek impressed Current System is completely automatic with little
maintenance required and will normally require no adjustments during routine
operation of the vessel. However, careful attention on a routine basis should be
given to the following points, by the ships staff to ensure that the system is kept
operating at maximum efficiency at all times.
Check that the LCD of the Power Supply unit display is illuminated, and that the
ON/ALARM LED is lit. If either of these are incorrect then refer to the fault finding
section.
Record the O/P Current & Voltage and the electrode voltages on the Minitek log
sheets provided. A sample log-sheet is included in this manual which indicates how
to fill the log-sheet in.
NOTES:
1. If the O/P Current is set to display % then press the 'ENT' button to toggle to
Amperes.
2. Pressing either the up or down buttons will toggle the display to read either
electrodes 1 & 2 or electrodes 3 & 4.
3. If the electrode readings appear to be erratic (ie going positive & negative) then
the readings unit has become confused. Turning the unit off then on with the front
mounted switch will solve this problem. This switch also acts as an isolating switch
should the system need to be turned off.
Once weekly the slip-ring should be checked for cleanliness, for wear on the
brushes and to confirm that the brushes both move freely in their holders and are
held firmly onto the slip-ring by the brush holder spring. Check the rudder stock
bonding cable for any fraying of the conductor at the connection points.
Each log sheet has space for a complete month after which the copies should be
returned to Cathelco for scrutiny and comment. Email the log-sheet to
iccplogsheets@cathelco.com
Every 3 months switch off the equipment isolate the power externally to the unit
remove the covers and inspect the power supply unit internally for signs of loose
wires or other visual defects. The power supply unit is, under normal operation, fan
cooled, and depends on free circulation of cooling air through the vents to maintain
safe working temperature of components. Check that the ventilation grilles in the
sides and top are not obstructed in anyway. Clean any dust and dirt from the unit
paying particular attention to the cooling fan.
Replace all covers provide power and operate the mains switch to the On position
and shut the front door.
5.0.5 30 DAYS PRIOR TO DRY-DOCKING:
One month before the dry docking ensure that daily log sheets have been
maintained and forwarded to Cathelco for assessment with information that dry
docking is expected. This will ensure that any necessary spares can be dispatched
in good time. Continue to log the system readings up to the time the vessel enters
the dry dock. It is advised that an Engineer from Cathelco be in attendance during
dry-docking to check and service the Minitek System.
At times when the vessel enters a river estuary where the water may be fresh or
brackish the effect will be to limit the spread of current from the anodes because of
the much higher electrical resistivity of water. Normally this will cause the automatic
control to increase the transformer rectifier output voltage to the maximum, but this
will be, accompanied by a very low level current and the reference electrode
potentials may indicate under protection. However, this has been taken care of by
our computer and is explained in a separate paragraph in 6.1 The system, will
return the hull to the optimum protective level as soon as the vessel returns to the
seawater.
Once the vessel has come out of Dry-Dock and the hull has had a new paint system
applied or repaired, it is recommended that the ICCP System is left switched off for
a period of 4 weeks. This will prevent impressing any current to the ships hull where
paint maybe weak or damaged and prevent any dis-bondment or blistering of the
paint system.

6.0 SERVICE AND FAULT FINDING (MINITEK):
6.0.2 From consideration of section 1 it will be appreciated that the d.c. output current of
the system is the factor that provides the Cathodic Protection of the hull. In a
correctly functioning system the level of current output gives an indication of the
state of the paint system.
6.0.3 The voltage or potential reading on the reference electrode circuit is the voltage of
the hull with respect to the reference electrode. Application of protective current
changes this potential in a negative direction as indicated in figure 1.3 from a level
of +0.20 volt for optimum protection. This example gives levels with respect to zinc
electrodes.
6.0.4 The D.C output voltage is the driving potential that produces the protective current.
but this is automatically regulated according to the current requirement and with a
newly painted vessel at low current output the DC voltage will normally be around +
3.5 volts.
6.0.5 Bearing the above points in mind, it is clearly important to maintain the daily log and
return the copies to Cathelco for scrutiny at the end of each month. Thus any
abnormality in the readings will be noted and diagnosed and recommendations can
be forwarded for action to be taken without undue delay.
6.0.6 In reviewing the daily log sheets it is necessary first to check that the reference
electrodes are within the range of protection and then to assess the output current and
volts for variations in the level of protection applied. Log sheets should be sent back to
Cathelco on a monthly basis to validate the 12 month guarantee period.
6.0.7 Do not megger, or high voltage test this equipment. The DC and control circuits are
low voltage only and will be seriously damaged if high voltage test equipment is
used. To check insulation of any cables outside the Power Supply Unit disconnect
them at both ends.
6.0.8 If the LCD display is not illuminated then first check the mains supply to the cabinet
and that the system is switched on. If no fault can be found then report conditions to
Cathelco.
6.0.9 If the Power Supply Unit On/Alarm LED is not lit, then:
a) Press 'CTRL' button. This allows the operator to select a different mode.
b) Press the up or down buttons until the display reads SELECT MODE, ALARM
STATUS
c) Press the 'ENT' button. This selects the alarm status mode.
The display should now read 'ALARM' in the top left. In the top right the mode of
operation will be displayed, i.e. MANUAL, AUTO or STAND-BY. Make a note of the
mode, and any alarm messages displayed on the bottom line.
If there is more than one alarm condition, then they will automatically scroll round.
6.0.10 When any of the alarm conditions are found to be displayed contact Cathelco giving
full details of the alarm.
ICCP systems have experienced problems in the past when the vessel has to enter
a harbour or estuary where the water is either fresh or brackish. The Minitek
computer controller has been programmed to identify this situation by analysing the
voltage reading, the amperage reading and the reference electrode inputs. In fresh
water the amperage goes to zero and the voltage tends to go to maximum to
compensate, the reference electrode readings go high. With the system’s self
analytical test the computer will identify this situation and IMMEDIATELY go into a
"standby mode" whereby the amps and volts go to minimum until such time as the
readings indicate that the vessel has moved back into good salt water. The system
will then start to function normally. This will happen at the next "Self Test" that the
computer carries out every eight hour, period.
7.0 MINITEK COMMISSIONING CHECK LIST
7.0.1 Upon completion of the system installation, after allowing a minimum of 48 hours for
the di-electric shield areas to harden, commissioning may now be carried out.
7.0.3 It is recommended that completed check lists be copied and submitted to Cathelco
for analysis. Keep the original copy with the ship's manual.
7.0.4 After Commissioning has been carried out it is recommended that the ICCP System
is switched off for a period of 4 weeks as stated in section 5.0.7.

THE ICCP SYSTEM MUST BE SWITCHED INTO STANDBY MODE AND ANODE
FUSES REMOVED WHENEVER DIVERS ARE OPERATING IN THE VICINITY OF
THE SHIP.
1 Turn off the Isolator and remove the anode fuses from the Transformer Rectifier Control
Panel, then turn off the Isolator on the Main Power Supply Control Panel. This Isolator
must be locked and tagged out as per the Diver Operating Procedures for the vessel.
2 Remove the M20 blanking plug from the cofferdam lid. Remove the 6 x M8 cofferdam lid
bolts and washers. Remove the cofferdam lid and fibre gasket.
3 Detach the cable from the anode stud by removing the M12 nyloc nut and washer. Cut off
the cable crimp lug close to the end of the cable and remove the cable gland. Push the
cable back inside the side pipe and replace the cable gland with the M20 blanking plug
removed from the cofferdam lid. It is essential that the diver change tool is fitted and
sealed before the diver begins to remove the reference electrode, as the cofferdam will fill
with sea water when the electrode is removed, see step 7.
4 Hold the reference electrode in position (DIVER) while the securing nut and washer are
removed from inside the vessel.
5 Remove the M12 nut and washer from the reference electrode stud.
6 Replace the cofferdam lid and fibre gasket. Fit the 6 x M8 nuts, bolts and washers.
Tighten so that the lid is secure and water tight.
7 Remove the retaining nut (1) from the reference electrode extraction tool. Ensure that the
dowty (2) washer is in place. Ensure that the T bar (3) on the tool is fully unscrewed so
that the collar (4) is touching the adaptor nut (5). Failing to do this may result in water
leaking from the tool as it is tightened into the cofferdam lid causing seawater to leak from
the thread. Screw the reference electrode extraction tool into the cofferdam lid, do not
over tighten. It is essential that the electrode extraction tool is fitted before the diver
begins to remove the reference electrode as the cofferdam will fill with sea water when
the electrode is replaced.
9 To remove the reference electrode, tighten the reference electrode extraction tool to force
out the old electrode. Pressure will be felt tightening the T bar as it forces out the old
electrode. As soon as this pressure reduces the old electrode will have been pushed out
and the T bar should not be tightened any further.
10 Remove the old electrode (DIVER). The cofferdam will fill with sea water.
11 Unscrew the reference electrode extraction tool until resistance is felt as the collar (4)
meets the adaptor nut (5). The new reference electrode is now ready to be installed.
12 Make sure that the cofferdam reference electrode recess is clean and free from debris to
ensure the new electrode seals correctly (DIVER).
13 Insert the new reference electrode into the cofferdam. Hold in position until the electrode
has been secured from inside the vessel.
14 Remove the reference electrode extraction tool, re-fit the retaining nut (1) to hold the
dowty washer (2) in place, this nut needs to be hand tight only. Remove the cofferdam lid
and gasket. Make sure all water is removed from the cofferdam and the area inside the
cofferdam is dry. Remove the M20 blanking plug from the cofferdam side pipe and refit
the blanking plug in the cofferdam lid.
15 Re fit the M12 nylon washer, M12 washer wide and M12 nut to secure the reference
electrode. Tighten all M12 nuts to 1.5 kpm (15 N m) using a torque wrench.
16 Pull the cable into the cofferdam and fit a new cable gland. Fit a new cable crimp lug to
the cable and re-attach it to the reference electrode stud. Fit the M12 nyloc nut and
washer and tighten the nut.
17 Re-fit the cofferdam lid and fibre gasket. Secure the lid with 6 x M8 Bolts and washers.
18 Wash the extraction tool to remove all traces of sea water. Spray the tool with a rust
preventative coating.

Contract and no cancellation or termination of any one Contract relating to an instalment shall entitle the Buyer to repudiate or
cancel any other Contract or instalment.
4.5 If for any reason the Buyer fails to accept delivery of any of the Goods when they are ready for delivery, or Cathelco is unable
to deliver the Goods on time because the Buyer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licences or authorisations:
(a) risk in the Goods shall pass to the Buyer (including for loss or damage caused by Cathelco's negligence);
(b) the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and
(c) Cathelco may store the Goods until the Buyer takes possession of the Goods, whereupon the Buyer shall be liable for all
related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage and insurance).
4.6 Unless agreed otherwise in the quotation (including by way of reference to a relevant Incoterm) the Buyer shall provide at the
Delivery Point and at its expense adequate and appropriate equipment and manual labour for unloading the Goods.
4.7 The Buyer shall examine the Goods as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery and shall immediately notify Cathelco of
any incomplete or failed delivery or any loss or damage during carriage. Unless the Buyer so notifies Cathelco within 30 days after
the date at which the Buyer became or ought reasonably to have become aware of the incomplete or failed delivery or loss or
damage to the Goods during carriage, the Buyer will be treated as having waived all claims connected with the matter.
4.8 Where the Buyer has entered into more than one Contract with Cathelco failure to deliver the Goods under this Contract will
not affect the Buyer’s obligation to comply with the terms of any other contracts.
5. IMPORT AND EXPORT LICENCES
If appropriate, Cathelco undertakes to obtain any UK licence required for the export of the Goods from the UK by Cathelco. The
Buyer shall comply with any such licence and shall obtain and comply with all other necessary licences, permits and consents. If
required by Cathelco, the Buyer shall make any such licences or consents available to Cathelco prior to delivery.
6. RISK/TITLE
6.1 The Goods are at the risk of the Buyer from the time of delivery. The condition and security of the Goods from the date of
delivery to the Date of Commissioning is the sole responsibility of the Buyer.
6.2 Ownership of the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until Cathelco has received in full (in cash or cleared funds) all sums due
to it in respect of the Goods and all other sums which are or which become due to Cathelco from the Buyer on any account.
Cathelco shall be entitled to recover payment for the Goods notwithstanding that ownership of any of the Goods has not passed
from Cathelco.
6.3 Until ownership of the Goods has passed to the Buyer, the Buyer shall:
(a) hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as Cathelco's bailee;
(b) store the Goods (at no cost to Cathelco) separately from all other goods of the Buyer or any third party in such a way that they
remain readily identifiable as Cathelco's property;
(c) not destroy, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods; and
(d) maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them in a safe and secure manner.
6.4 The Contract and the Buyer's right to possession of the Goods shall terminate immediately if:
(a) the Buyer commits a breach of any term of any Contract and (if the breach is capable of remedy) fails to remedy it within 30 days
after receipt of notice in writing requiring it to do so; or
(b) the Buyer makes any voluntary arrangement with its creditors or (being an individual or firm) becomes bankrupt or (being a
company) becomes subject to an administration order or goes into liquidation (otherwise than for the purpose of amalgamation or
reconstruction) or an encumbrancer takes possession or a receiver is appointed of any of the property or assets of the Buyer, or the
Buyer ceases, or threatens to cease, to carry on business; or
(c) any event analogous to those described in condition 6.4(b) which occurs in relation to the Buyer in any jurisdiction in which the
Buyer is incorporated, resident or carries on business.
6.5 The Buyer grants Cathelco, its agents and employees an irrevocable licence to enter any of its premises or vessels where the
Goods are or may be stored in order to recover Goods when the Buyer’s right to possession of the Goods has terminated.
6.6 On termination of the Contract, howsoever caused, Cathelco’s rights contained in this Condition 6 shall remain in effect.
7. PAYMENT
7.1 Subject to Conditions 7.2 and 7.5 and unless otherwise agreed in writing in accordance with Condition 2.2, invoices shall be
settled within 30 days of the date of the invoice and time for payment shall be of the essence.
7.2 Should Cathelco stipulate a requirement for security for payment before dispatch of the Goods, Cathelco shall have the right to
withhold delivery of the Goods until such security has been received.
7.3 No payment shall be deemed to have been received until Cathelco has received cleared funds in the currency stated on the
invoice. In the event of any failure to pay Cathelco any sum due pursuant to the Contract and without prejudice to any other
remedies available to Cathelco under the Conditions, the Buyer shall be liable to pay interest to Cathelco at 6% above HSBC Bank
Plc base rate for the time being per annum accruing on a daily basis until payment is made, whether before or after judgement.
7.4 All payments payable to Cathelco under the Contract shall become due immediately on its termination despite any other
provision.
7.5 All payments under the Contract are due in full without deduction by way of set-off, counterclaim, discount, or otherwise unless
the Buyer has a valid court order requiring an amount equal to such deduction to be paid by Cathelco to the Buyer.
7.6 Where the Buyer has entered into more than one contract with Cathelco, failure to pay Cathelco any sum due pursuant to the
Contract will entitle Cathelco to terminate all other contracts with and/or suspend any deliveries to the same Buyer and seek
payment of all outstanding sums.
7.7 The Buyer shall indemnify Cathelco against all costs, charges and expenses (including legal costs) incurred by Cathelco in
recovering sums owing by the Buyer (including but not limited to seizure of vessels).
8. QUALITY
8.1 Cathelco warrants that (subject to the other provisions of the Conditions) the Goods will conform in all material respects to the
specification provided by the Buyer in accordance with Condition 3.2. Cathelco further provides a one year warranty applying to all
Cathelco systems but excluding all consumable items. The warranty period starts from the delivery date. Consumable items are
not included in the warranty unless they fail before their recommended operating period. The condition and security of the
equipment from the date of receipt to the date of commissioning is the sole responsibility of the purchaser. All other warranties or
conditions (whether express or implied) as to quality, condition, description, compliance with sample or fitness for purpose (whether
T & C Rev 0
Page 2 of 4
statutory or otherwise) other than those expressly set out in this agreement are excluded from this agreement to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
8.2 Cathelco shall not be liable for a breach of the warranty in Condition 8.1 unless the Buyer gives written notice of the defect to
Cathelco within 30 days of the date of which the Buyer became or ought reasonably to have become aware of the breach and
Cathelco is given a reasonable opportunity after receiving the notice to examine such Goods. The Buyer shall as far as possible
preserve the Goods for inspection by Cathelco.
8.3 Cathelco shall not be liable for a breach of the warranty in Condition 8.1 if:
(a) the Buyer makes any further use of such Goods after giving such notice; or
(b) the Buyer alters or repairs such Goods without the written consent of Cathelco; or
(c) the defect was caused in any way by the Buyer’s failure to provide a full and accurate specification of the vessel that the
Goods would be applied to and/or the waters that the Goods would be used in (as required by Condition 3.2); or
(d) the defect was caused in any way by the Buyer’s failure to follow good trade practice or the Cathelco’s oral or written
instructions as to storage, installation, use or maintenance of the Goods.
8.4 Subject to Conditions 8.2 and 8.3, if any of the Goods do not conform with the warranty in Condition 8.1, Cathelco shall at its
option repair or replace such Goods (or the defective part) or refund the price of such Goods at the pro rata Contract rate provided
that, if requested, the Buyer shall return the Goods to Cathelco.
8.5 If Cathelco complies with Condition 8.4 (or if Cathelco’s reasonable attempts to comply with its preferred remedy under
Condition 8.4 are obstructed by the Buyer), Cathelco shall have no further liability for a breach of the warranty in Condition 8.1 in
respect of such Goods.
8.6 Where Goods are returned to Cathelco, Cathelco will accept no responsibility for the condition of the Goods received from the
Buyer. It is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the packing is sufficient to protect the Goods during transit. The Buyer will
be required to pay for the replacement of Goods received which are damaged beyond economical repair or for repairs where such
damage is caused by transit.
9. INSTALLATION AND TESTING
9.1 It is the sole responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that the Goods are installed correctly and in compliance with Cathelco’s
instructions. Cathelco can accept no responsibility for any damage or loss to Goods or otherwise arising as a result of incorrect
installation. The conditions of warranty may be extended if the installation is supervised by a Cathelco approved engineer but any
such extensions of warranty must be agreed in writing and signed by an Authorised Person. The supervision will not apply to the
structural applications involving preparation, cutting or welding of the vessel for the purposes of mounting and securing the installed
equipment.
9.2 Cathelco accepts no responsibility for testing and commissioning unless it is carried out by a Cathelco-approved engineer. In
such cases, Cathelco warrants that the engineer will exercise reasonable care and skill within the meaning of the Supply of Goods
and Services Act 1982. This warranty will run for one year from the Date of Commissioning where the Cathelco-approved engineer
has signed the commissioning report and it has also been countersigned by a recognised representative of the shipyard.
10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY – THE BUYER’S ATTENTION IS PARTICULARLY DRAWN TO THE CONTENTS OF THIS
CONDITION
10.1 All warranties, conditions and other terms implied by statute or common law (save for the conditions implied by section 12 of
the Sale of Goods Act 1979) are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from the Contract.
10.2 Nothing in the Conditions excludes or limits the liability of Cathelco:
(a) for death or personal injury caused by Cathelco's negligence; or
(b) under section 2(3) or any other applicable section under the Consumer Protection Act 1987; or
(c) for any matter which it would be illegal for Cathelco to exclude or attempt to exclude its liability; or
(d ) for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
10.3 The Buyer will not be entitled to claim any damages in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty),
misrepresentation, restitution or otherwise, arising from the performance or contemplated performance of the Contract unless they
have first given notice of the claim to Cathelco in compliance with Condition 8.2.
10.4 Subject to Conditions 10.1 and 10.2:-
(a) Cathelco's total liability in contract, tort (including negligence or breach of statutory duty), misrepresentation, restitution or
otherwise, arising in connection with the performance or contemplated performance of the Contract shall be limited to the total cost
of the Goods; and
(b) Cathelco shall not be liable to the Buyer for:-
i) any indirect, special or consequential loss or damage; or
ii) loss of data or other equipment or property; or
iii) economic loss or damage; or
iv) incurring of liability for loss or damage of any nature whatsoever suffered by third parties (including in each case incidental
and punitive damages); or
v) any loss of actual or anticipated profit, interest, revenue, anticipated savings or business or damage to goodwill even if
Cathelco is advised in advance of the possibility of any such losses or damages.
The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the price of the Goods reflects the limitations of liability contained in the Contract.
11. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
11.1 The Buyer acknowledges that:
(a) the Intellectual Property Rights are Cathelco's (or its licensor's) property;
(b) nothing in this Contract shall be construed as conferring any licence or granting any rights in favour of the Buyer in relation to
the Intellectual Property Rights; and
(c) any reputation in any trade marks affixed or applied to the Goods shall accrue to the sole benefit of Cathelco or any other
owner of the trade marks from time to time.
11.2 The Buyer shall not remove any copyright notices, confidential or proprietary legends or identification from the Goods save for
any removal which is a necessary result of an installation process.
T & C Rev 0
Page 3 of 4
11.3 The Buyer shall not use or seek to register any trade mark or trade name (including any company name) which is identical to,
confusingly similar to or incorporates any trade mark or trade name which Cathelco or any of its associated companies own or
claim rights to anywhere in the world.
11.4 The Buyer shall promptly and fully notify Cathelco of:
(a) any actual, threatened or suspected infringement of any Intellectual Property Rights which comes to the Buyer's notice; and
(b) any claim by any third party that comes to the Buyer's notice that the sale or advertisement of the Goods infringes the rights
of any person.
11.5 The Buyer agrees (at Cathelco's request and expense) to do all such things as may be reasonably required to assist Cathelco
in taking or resisting any proceedings in relation to any infringement or claim referred to in Condition 11.4.
11.6 On termination of the Contract howsoever caused Cathelco’s rights contained in this Condition 11 shall remain in effect.
12. FORCE MAJEURE
Cathelco shall not be liable for any delay in performing or failure to perform any of its obligations under this Contract if such delay or
failure results from events or circumstances outside its reasonable control which shall include (without limitation): natural disasters; war;
terrorism; accidents; explosions; incidents; breakdown of equipment or machinery; sabotage; strikes or other labour disturbances
(regardless of the reasonableness of the demands of labour); acts or omissions of government; port congestions; and shortage of
supplies or labour. Such delay or failure shall not constitute a breach of this Contract and the time for performance shall be extended by
a period equivalent to that during which performance is so prevented or a period of 21 days, whichever is the shorter, after the expiry of
which the Buyer shall be entitled to give notice in writing to Cathelco to terminate the Contract with respect to any Goods undelivered at
that time.
13. SEVERANCE
13.1 If any Condition (or part of a Condition) of the Contract is found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to
be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, the other Conditions will remain in force.
13.2 If any invalid, unenforceable or illegal Condition would be valid, enforceable or legal if some part of it were deleted, that
Condition will apply with whatever modification is necessary to make it valid, enforceable and legal.
1.1.1.1 13.3 The parties agree, in the circumstances referred to in Condition 13.1 to substitute for any invalid, unenforceable
or illegal Condition a valid, enforceable and legal Condition which achieves to the greatest extent possible the same
effect as would have been achieved by the invalid or unenforceable Condition.
1.1.1.2 14. WAIVER
Failure or delay by Cathelco in enforcing or partially enforcing any term of the Contract shall not be construed as a waiver of any of
its rights under the Contract. Any waiver by Cathelco of any breach of, or any default under, any term of the Contract by the Buyer
shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default and shall in no way affect the other terms of the Contract.
15. THIRD PARTIES
15.1 The parties to the Contract do not intend that any term of the Contract shall be enforceable by virtue of the Contracts (Rights
of Third Parties) Act 1999 by any person that is not a party to it. This Condition 15.1 does not affect any right or remedy of any
person that exists or is available otherwise than pursuant to that Act.
15.2 Each party shall promptly notify the other of any claims brought or contemplated by third parties in relation to the Contract or
the particular Goods sold hereunder and shall comply with the other’s reasonable requirements to minimise and/or avoid any
further liability and shall allow the other conduct of any action and/or settlement on reasonable terms.
16. ASSIGNMENT
Cathelco may assign the Contract or any part of it without the prior written consent of the Buyer. The Buyer shall not assign this
Contract or any rights hereunder in whole or in part to any third party without the prior written consent of an Authorised Person.
17. LAW, JURISDICTION AND DISPUTES
17.1 The formation, existence, construction, performance, validity and all aspects of the Contract shall be governed by English law.
The parties submit to a final resolution of any dispute by Commercial Arbitration rather than through the English Courts. For the
avoidance of doubt, the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement.
17.2 Nothing in this Condition 17 shall limit the right of Cathelco to take proceedings against the Buyer in any other court of
competent jurisdiction, nor shall the taking of proceedings in any one or more jurisdiction preclude the taking of proceedings in any
other jurisdiction, whether concurrently or not, to the extent permitted by the law of such other jurisdiction
17.3 Incoterms shall apply to the Contract but where they conflict with the Contract, the Contract shall prevail.
17.4 Subject to Condition 17.1, any disputes that cannot be resolved between the parties must be referred to Commercial
Arbitration within one year of either (i) the date of this Contract, or (ii) the end of the warranty period as defined in Condition 8.3,
whichever is the later.
18. COMMUNICATIONS
18.1 All communications between the parties about the Contract shall be in writing and delivered by hand or sent by pre-paid first
class post (or airmail if sent from outside the UK) or sent by fax or e-mail:
(a) (in case of communications to Cathelco) to the Sales Team at Cathelco’s registered office; or
(b) (in the case of the communications to the Buyer) to any address of the Buyer as shall be notified to Cathelco by the Buyer.
18.2 Communications shall be deemed to have been received:-
(a) if delivered by hand, at the time of delivery;
(b) if posted first-class within the United Kingdom, 48 hours after posting;
(c) if posted by airmail, five days after the date of posting; and
(d) if sent by fax or e-mail on a working day prior to 4.00 pm, at the time of transmission and otherwise on the next working day.
