1.0 INTRODUCTION:
1.0.1 PRINCIPLES OF CORROSION AND CATHODIC PROTECTION:
Metallic corrosion is an electro-chemical reaction in which the metal combines

with a non metal, such as oxygen, to form a metal oxide or other compound.
This depends upon the nature of the environment.
Different metals have different tendencies to corrode, termed activity or

potential. These potentials can be tabulated and form the electro-chemical
series.
A more practical approach is the determination of the tendency of certain metals

to corrode in a particular electrolyte, such as sea water. This is termed the
galvanic series of which the following table is an abridged form.
Active or Anodic
Magnesium
Zinc
Mild Steel
Wrought Iron
Cast Iron
Ni-Resist
18.8.3 % Molybdenum SS, Type 316 (Active)
Lead
Tin
Manganese Bronze
Naval Brass
Aluminium Bronze
Copper
70 Copper 30 Nickel
Nickel (Passive)
Monel, 70% Nickel - 30 % Copper
18.8.3 % Molybdenum SS, Type 316 (Passive)
Noble or Cathodic
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
sea water is more likely to be passive than type 304 and is therefore generally
preferred for immersed marine applications.
Section 1 Rev 0
Page 1 of 3
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:
Figure 1.1 - Simple Corrosion Cell
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 rain drops 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.
Cathodic Protection is a system of preventing corrosion by forcing all surfaces

of a structure to be cathodes by providing external anodes.
Section 1 Rev 0
Page 2 of 3
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.
Typical examples of galvanic cells are:
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.
c) 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.
SACRIFICIAL ANODE CATHODIC PROTECTION:
As indicated previously, a metal can be made cathodic by electrically

connecting it to a more Anodic metal within the electrolyte. The most
commonly used Anodic metals are alloys of aluminium, zinc and magnesium.
Anodes of these metals corrode preferentially; the corrosion current of the
anode achieving cathodic protection of the structure to which they are
connected. The anodes deteriorate as an essential part of their function and they
are therefore termed sacrificial.
Section 1 Rev 0
Page 3 of 3
2.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS:
2.1.1 IMPRESSED CURRENT CATHODIC PROTECTION:
A metal also can be made cathodic by electrically connecting it to another

metallic component in the same electrolyte through a source of direct electric
current and directing the current flow to occur off the surface of added metallic
component (anode), into the electrolyte and onto the metal (cathode). This can
easily be visualised by reference to the simple cell and assuming yet another
electrode with a power source is introduced and that the current flow from this
electrode is sufficient to overcome the natural corrosion current.
Because an external current source is employed, this type of protection is

termed 'IMPRESSED CURRENT CATHODIC PROTECTION'.
Figure 1.2 - Cathodic Protection Applied to a Simple Corrosion Cell
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.
The impressed current anode material is ideally non-consumed by the passage

of current from it into the electrolyte, in practice the materials used are a
compromise between this ideal and the cost and physical properties of available
materials. Impressed current anodes are made from graphite, silicon iron, lead
alloys some with platinum bi-electrodes, platinised titanium or more exotic
combinations such as platinum clad niobium. The selection of the correct anode
material is critical in the formulation of an effective and economic cathodic
protection scheme.
Section 2 Rev 3
Page 1 of 6
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
2.2.0 MARINE IMPRESSED CURRENT SYSTEM:
The C-Shield Marine Impressed Current System comprises the following

components, as illustrated in figure 1.4.
2.2.1 Impressed Current Anodes
The function of the anode is to conduct the d.c. protective current into the sea
water. C-Shield anodes have been designed to perform this function whilst
maintaining a low electrical resistance contact with the sea water. Standard
surface mounted anodes are available with from 50 to 300 Ampere ratings. For
forward mounted systems and for special applications 50 and 75 Ampere
recessed anodes are available.
Materials now used by C-Shield for Anodes have now gone beyond lead alloy
with specialist coated titanium based Anodes now available. All C-Shield anode
designs utilise a tough, chlorine resistant, but slightly flexible plastic carrier.
Section 2 Rev 3
Page 2 of 6
The use of a 24 volt system reduces the number and length of the anodes from
that required with a 12 volt 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 fully encapsulated and protected by the hull penetration.
Recessed anodes of essentially similar construction are provided for bow
section applications.
All hull penetrations are provided with substantial doubler plates and
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 although
normally two will be fitted. Ideally, these should be located a minimum of 7.5
metres distant from the anodes. In the case of a stern only installation with the
anodes more than 150 metres from the bows, one reference electrode may be
located in the bows.
A novel feature of the C-Shield 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 heavy duty packing glands. The
cofferdams are fully sealed and provided with watertight cable glands all
conforming to the requirements of the Classification Societies.

2.2.3 Power Supply Unit:
The C - Shield impressed current Cathodic protection power supply unit is a

thyristor system housed in a range of different sized cabinets. The specific
power supply unit supplied is illustrated on the drawing included with this
manual. The system comprises of a control PCB, a Thyristor PCB and a
Thyristor unit (consisting of a transformer, a choke and a thyristor bridge)
ranging in size from 50 Amperes up to 1600 Amperes. The supply
requirements range from 230Vac – 690Vac +/-10%, one or three phase,
50/60 Hz.
RS485 communication enables the control panel to be linked into the

vessels monitoring system allowing for a universal communications bus.
Data is locally stored on the controller for log sheets and performance
analysis. The controller is fitted with a USB port to allow for the system
readings to be uploaded to a PC or memory stick for analysis and or
forwarding on as a log sheet to save the crews time.
Controllers are multi lingual where English and Chinese language can be
selected.
The control PCB is a micro-processor based system having a backlit LCD

display which is located in the top centre of the cabinet door. 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.
To the right of the LCD is a power on indicator, which also acts as an alarm
indicator.
Only Master control panels are fitted with a control PCB to allow for
operation of the system. Slave panels are not fitted with Control PCB’s as
operation is done from the Master panel. Slave panels are fitted with a
power indication lamp.
DISPLAY:
This allows the operator to control and monitor the running and set
parameters of the system. It comprises of a backlit LCD display, 4 push
button switches and an Alarm LED. This is mounted on the door of the
cabinet.
MAIN CONTROL PCB
This board controls the operation of the system. It provides control signals
to the thyristor driver PCB, which allow control over the output current and
voltage of the system. This is mounted on the back of the cabinet door.
THYRISTOR PCB
This board monitors and conditions the signals supplied to the thyristor
unit.
Section 2 Rev 3

2.2.4 Bonding
To enable the rudder to receive protection it is provided with a dedicated

electrical bond in the form of a flexible cable from the top of the rudder
stock to the main ship structure. In the same way any stabilisers are bonded
to allow protective current to these surfaces.
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 slipring 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 slipring is formed from a copper strip
clamped around the shaft with high copper content heavy current capacity
brushes held in geared brush holders. The C-Shield slipring track is silver
plated as standard and in addition silver graphite brushes are used to
minimise contact resistance.

3.0 INSTALLATION OF EQUIPMENT:
3.0.01 Description:
The C-Shield 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 surface mount linear and recessed anodes. The
cofferdams for the reference electrodes are longer than those for the anodes
so that there is a necessity to differentiate between cofferdams before
starting assembly.
3.0.02 Locations for components are shown on the C-Shield drawings supplied for
the particular vessel, but are normally subject to final confirmation between
the C-Shield engineer on site and the yard/owner.
3.0.03 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.
3.0.04 It is recommended practice that routine service by Cathelco should be

carried out as recommended by the classification body for the vessel which
in some instances is 2 yearly.

3.2 Diver Change 50-100A C-Max Disc Anode
Description
Drawing No 100717M shows an exploded view of the complete assembly and hull
mounting details. The equipment consists of an anode, anode doubler plate
cofferdam and a di-electric shield.
The anode consists of a titanium disc (coated with Cathelco category CCIII or CCV)
moulded in a rubber holder with integrated packing rings and four bolts to fasten the
unit flush to the hull. A water tight cofferdam is welded to the anode doubler plate.
Note: Numbers to be cross-referenced with text below.
Installation
3.2.0 Cut a 403mm opening in the hull plate (1) in accordance with drawing
100717M to permit the doubler plate (2). Prepare the hole for welding by
bevelling the inside edge of the hole.
3.2.1 Position the doubler plate (2) as per drawing 100717M and secure into
place using a full penetration weld with back seal weld as per approved
weld procedure.
3.2.2 Clean off any weld splatter on the back of the doubler plate (2) to ensure
that the cofferdam (3) will locate flat to the doubler plate (2) at the inboard
side.
Section 3.2 Rev 5

Page 1 of 4
3.2.3 Locate the cofferdam (3) centrally on to the doubler plate (2) and position it
such that the cable entry pipe (4) is orientated to suit the installation. Secure
in place using a external and internal continuous fillet weld as per approved
weld procedure.
3.2.4 Externally in way of the area to be covered by the anode (5) clean off any
weld spatter from the surface, and grind flat all welds.
3.2.5 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 application of the di-
electric shield will damage the shield material even if the welding is not
associated with the cathodic protection system.
3.2.6 The dimensions of the di-electric shield are shown on drawing 103224M
3.2.7 Inspect the area to be covered and grind off all weld spatter and surplus
weld material to a smooth profile.
3.2.8 Remove all oil and grease from the areas using clean, dry, oil free rags
soaked in a hydrocarbon solvent such as Xylol, Toluene or white spirit, do
not use petrol or paraffin. Change the rags frequently to avoid merely
spreading contamination.
3.2.9 Plug the hull penetration and gritblast the primary shield area to SA 2.5
(ISO 8501 1:2007). Check that the surface profile is within 50-70 microns.
3.2.10 Remove residual dust with a clean dry brush.
3.2.11 Form the di-electric shield by painting the Di-electric supplied as per
drawing 103224M within 4 hours of blasting and before the formation of
any visible rust bloom. If the Di-electric cannot be painted within 4 hours of
blasting then an epoxy primer must be applied before the Di-electric.The
Di-electric can be paint applied or airless sprayed. Primary shield to be
applied as per drawing 103224M. Secondary shield area to be coated with
standard hull coating minimum of 500 microns. If the paint film is too thin,
roughening of the surface by blasting to Grade Coarse G is needed. Allow
sufficient drying time before applying the second coat. Safety data sheets
can be supplied upon request.
3.2.12 Fit the anode (5) into position through the doubler plate (2) taking care not
to damage the electrical connection pin (6).
3.2.13 Inside the vessel, remove the cofferdam lid (7) from the cofferdam (3) and
check the pin (6) for damage
3.2.14 Fit the dowty washer (8) and gland (9) (10) to the base of the doubler plate
(2) recess and fully tighten the gland body (9)
3.2.15 Fit one washer (11) and one nut (12) to each anode stud (13) and hand
tighten.
Section 3.2 Rev 5

Page 2 of 4
3.2.16 Starting at the #1 bolt, use cross-pattern tightening sequence in drawing
100717M to tighten the nuts. Each sequence constitutes a ‘Round’. Use 3
rounds to fully tighten to the required torque of 50 N-m (36.9lbs/ft or
5.1kg/m). .
3.2.17 Fit the second nut (14) to each stud (13) and hand tighten
3.2.18 Hold the first nut and starting at the #1 bolt, use cross-pattern tightening
sequence in drawing 100717M to tighten the nuts. Each sequence
constitutes a ‘Round’. Use 3 rounds to fully tighten to the required torque of
50 N-m (36.9lbs/ft or 5.1kg/m).
3.2.19 Fully tighten the anode cable gland compression ring (10).
3.2.20 Ensure the cofferdam exit boss (4) is secure with the dowty washer (15)
fitted. Fit the dowty washer (16) gland (17) (18) into position outside the
cofferdam (dry compartment installation) or inside the cofferdam (wet
compartment installation). Any cables which run through tanks must be
housed in heavy wall conduit pipe. Tighten the main body (17) fully into
position, but fully slacken the compression ring (18).
3.2.21 Thread the shipyard cable (19) through the gland (17) (18) into the
cofferdam (3). Connect a correct sized crimp ring (20) onto the shipyard
cable (19). Connect the shipyard cable (19) to the anode electrical
connection pin (6), the connection is made by adding 1 x M10 half nut (21)
and washer (22) onto the anode electrical connection pin (6). The crimp
ring (20) is then placed over the anode electrical connection pin (6) and
secured in place with a washer (23) and M10 nyloc nut (24). This can then
be insulated by applying a piece of heat shrink. Tighten the gland
compression ring (18) onto the cable (19) leaving a loop of slack cable
inside the cofferdam. Connect the shipyard cable (19) into the power
supply unit via a junction box if required.
3.2.22 Check the insulation of the anode connection circuit to the hull using a
500V earth insulation test meter. DO NOT MEGGER if the vessel is afloat.
Disconnect from the power supply unit before this test, or permanent
damage may occur.
3.2.23 Make a final visual check of all connections and fit the cofferdam lid (7)
and gasket (25) to seal the cofferdam (3). Fit the cofferdam lid (7) by fitting
one M8 washer (26) over each M8 bolt (27) and tighten the 6 x M8 bolts (27)
into the cofferdam body (3). Starting at the #1 bolt, use cross-pattern
tightening sequence in drawing 100717M to tighten the nuts. Each sequence
constitutes a ‘Round’. Use 3 rounds to fully tighten to the required torque of
26 N-m (19.17lbs/ft or 2.63kg/m). Ensure the removable sealing plug (28) is
fitted to the cofferdam lid (7).
3.2.24 After the anode installation work is finished, the cofferdams may be filled
with an electrical insulation compound (This is to be supplied by the
shipyard if required).

3.4 DIVER CHANGE REFERENCE ELECTRODE
Description
See the Reference Cell Arrangement Drawing No: 100006M (Zinc

Reference Electrode) or Drawing No: 100019M (Silver / Silver Chloride
Reference Electrode). Both types of reference electrodes consist of a
cylindrical plate with an integral 12 mm bolt for fastening and electric
contact. The reference electrode is mounted in a rubber holder with
integrated sealings for water tight fitting.
a) Reference Electrode, with contact and fastening bolt mounted in a

rubber holder. The rubber holder includes a sealing ring and conical seal.
b) Cofferdam Body, with a machined recess to fit the reference electrode

flush to the hull plate.
c) In the center of the cofferdam is a carefully machined conical hole for

the conical rubber seal part of the reference electrode.
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.
e) Because the rubber of the reference electrode represents a very good

water tight seal, do not use mastic, resin or filler. For fastening and electric
insulation of the electrode, use the plastic washer for insulation and the
steel washer and an M12 nut for fastening the electrode.
Cofferdam assembly without side pipe
Drawing no: 100025M shows an exploded view of the standard reference

electrode cofferdam assembly. Drawing no: 100376M shows an exploded view
of the complete assembly and hull mounting details.
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.
3.4.02 Remove 6 x M8 x 30 lg Hex Head Bolts, M8 washers, cofferdam lid

and gasket.
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.

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.
This cable must be shielded. The shield must be terminated in the

cabinet of the rectifier at the earthing point, see terminal drawing in
this manual for full details. Under special noisy conditions it may be
favourable to earth the cable also in the cofferdam. An earthing
connection must then be constructed in 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.
After the electric installation is finished the cofferdam can be filled

with a non conductive electrical isolating compound, however this is
down to the yards discretion and is not essential. The compound must
also be supplied by the yard.
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.

4.3 SELF CHECKING:
4.3.1 Every 8 hours, timed from the last power up, or upon entry to
manual / automatic mode 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 then
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.
4.3.2 ERROR CHECKING
The equipment is provided with a number of built in self

checking functions. These functions ensure the correct running of
the equipment.
Section 4 Rev 5
Page 14 of 14
5.0 ROUTINE OPERATING PROCEDURE
The Cathelco Marine 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.
5.0.1 EVERY DAY:
Check that the LCD of the Power Supply unit display is illuminated,
and that the ON/ALARM LED is lit. If either of these is incorrect
then refer to the fault finding section.
NOTES:
1. Check unit scrolls through display screens without sticking or

error messages
2. If the electrode readings appear to be erratic (i.e. 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.
5.0.2 EVERY WEEK:
Once weekly the slipring 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 slipring by the brush holder
spring. Check the rudder stock bonding cable for any fraying of the
conductor at the connection points.
5.0.3 EVERY MONTH:
Upload monthly system readings to USB flash drive (see section

4.2). Send results to iccplogsheets@cathelco.com for analysis and
comments.
5.0.4 EVERY 3 MONTHS:
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.
Section 5 Rev0
Page 1 of 2
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 despatched 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 (Chesterfield) be in
attendance during dry-docking to check and service the C-Shield
System.
5.0.6 FRESH WATER OPERATION:
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 sea water.
5.0.7 AFTER UN-DOCKING:
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 ship’s hull where paint maybe
weak or damaged and prevent any dis-bondment or blistering of the
paint system.
After 4 – 6 weeks, it is recommended that a Cathelco Approved

service engineer attends the vessel to carry out a re-calibration and
commissioning of the system to ensure correct operation. Cathelco
cannot be held responsible for any damage to a newly applied paint
system if the ICCP system is left switched on after leaving Dry-Dock
or without correctly being recalibrated and re-commissioned after
undocking by a Cathelco Approved service engineer.
For a Cathelco Approved Service Engineer please email

service@cathelco.com
5.0.8 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
It is recommended practice that routine service by Cathelco should

be carried out as recommended by the classification body for the
vessel which in some instances is 2 yearly.
Section 5 Rev0
Page 2 of 2
6.0 SERVICE AND FAULT FINDING:
6.0.1 RECOGNITION OF A PROBLEM:
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 to 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. The standard Cathelco C-Shield Marine Impressed Current System
has a maximum voltage output of 24VDC 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 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.
6.0.6 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 (Chesterfield).
6.0.7 If the Power Supply Unit On/Alarm LED is not lit, then note any of the
alarm conditions that are found to be displayed and contact Cathelco
(Chesterfield) giving full details of the alarm.
6.1 VESSEL IN FRESH WATER
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
C-Shield computer controller has been programmed to identify this
situation by analysing the voltage reading, the amperage reading and the
reference electrode inputs. The ICCP system remains in automatic mode
and endeavours to provide the maximum available protection level around
the hull in this water condition. In fresh water conditions it is normal for the
output voltage from the system to increase and for current outputs to
decrease. This is caused by the increase in resistivity of the sea water
solution. When the vessel returns to normal sea water the output voltage
should begin to decrease and current outputs should begin to increase.

By pressing the "UP arrow" you will be able to increase the I %. This will result in
the reference cell readings reducing and the voltage and current increasing. To
avoid applying too much current to the hull at this stage we recommend that this
test is carried out to a maximum of " I 25% ".
Log the data as follows: I = 5%

EL 1 _______mV
EL 2_______mV
EL 3_______mV
EL 4_______mV
Voltage _____V

This establishes the correct operation of the manual mode. Reduce I % back to
zero by continuously pressing the "down arrow". When the I % is zero press
"CNTL" this takes it back to STANDBY then press "ENT"

DIVER CHANGE INSTRUCTIONS FOR

CATHELCO C-MAX DISC ANODE
DIVER SAFETY WARNING
THE ICCP SYSTEM MUST BE SWITCHED INTO STANDBY MODE AND ANODE
FUSES REMOVED WHENEVER DIVERS ARE OPERATING IN THE VICINITY OF
THE SHIP.
THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY SHOULD BE ISOLATED, LOCKED OFF AND

TAGGED
DISC ANODE REMOVAL
Refer to drawings 103221M and 103222M to cross reference numbered parts.
INSIDE THE VESSEL
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 6 x M8 cofferdam cover bolts (26) and washers (25). Remove the
cofferdam lid (7) and gasket (24).
3. Detach the cable (19) from the anode electrical connection pin (6) by removing the 2 x
M10 nuts (21) (24) and washers (22) (23) on the anode electrical connection pin (6).
Remove the cable gland (17) (18) and dowty washer (16) from the cofferdam exit boss
(4) and replace the gland (17) (18) in the cofferdam exit boss (4) with a suitable
blanking plug. It is essential that a blanking plug is fitted and sealed before the diver
begins to remove the anode (5), as the cofferdam body (3) will fill with sea water when
the anode is removed.
OUTSIDE THE VESSEL
4. Hold the disc anode (5) in position (DIVER).
INSIDE THE VESSEL
5. Remove the cable gland compression ring (11) from the central anode electrical
connection pin (7) leaving the gland body (10) and dowty washer (9) in place.
6. Remove the 2 x fixing nuts (12) (14) and washers (11) from each anode fixing stud (13).
7. Replace the cofferdam lid (7) and gasket (25). Fit the lid by fitting one M8 washer (26)
over each M8 bolt (27) and tighten the 6 x M8 bolts into the cofferdam body (3). Starting
at the #1 bolt, use cross-pattern tightening sequence in the manual to tighten the nuts.
Each sequence constitutes a ‘Round’. Use 3 rounds to fully tighten to the required
torque of 26 N-m (19.17lbs/ft or 2.63kg/m).

8. Remove the retaining nut (28) from the extraction tool. Ensure that the dowty washer
(29) is in place. Ensure that the T bar (30) on the tool is fully unscrewed so that the
collar (31) is touching the adaptor nut (32). Failing to do this may result in water leaking
from the tool as it is tightened into the cofferdam lid (7) causing seawater to leak from
the thread. Screw the extraction tool into the cofferdam lid (7), do not over tighten. It is
essential that the extraction tool is fitted before the diver begins to remove the anode (5)
as the cofferdam body (3) will fill with sea water when the anode is replaced.
OUTSIDE THE VESSEL

9. Hold the anode (5) in position (DIVER).
INSIDE THE VESSEL

10. To remove the anode (5), tighten the extraction tool to force out the old anode (5).
Pressure will be felt tightening the T bar (30) as it forces out the old anode (5). As soon
as this pressure reduces the old anode (5) will have been pushed out and the T bar (30)
should not be tightened any further.
OUTSIDE THE VESSEL
11. Remove the old anode (5) (DIVER). The cofferdam will fill with sea water.
INSIDE THE VESSEL
12. Unscrew the extraction tool until resistance is felt as the collar (31) meets the adaptor
nut (32). The new anode (5) is now ready to be installed.
DISC ANODE REPLACEMENT
OUTSIDE THE VESSEL
13. Make sure that the doubler plate (2) recess is clean and free from debris to ensure the
new anode seals correctly (DIVER).
14. Fit the anode (5) into position through the doubler plate (2) taking care not to damage
the electrical connection pin (6) and the surrounding bonded rubber section as it passes
through the doubler plate (2) and gland body (9) .
INSIDE THE VESSEL
15. Remove the extraction tool, re-fit the retaining nut (28) to hold the dowty washer (29) in
place, this nut needs to be hand tight only. Remove the cofferdam lid (7) and gasket
(25). Make sure all water is removed from the cofferdam body (3) and the area inside
the cofferdam body (3) is dry. Remove the blanking plug from the cofferdam exit boss
(4).
16. Fit one washer (11) and one fixing nut (12) to each anode fixing stud (13) and hand
tighten.
17. Starting at the #1 bolt, use cross-pattern tightening sequence in the manual to tighten
the nut. Each sequence constitutes a ‘Round’. Use 3 rounds to fully tighten to the
required torque of 50 N-m (36.9 lbs/ft or 5.1kg/m).
18. Fit the second fixing nut (14) to each anode fixing stud (13) and hand tighten
19. Starting at the #1 bolt, use cross-pattern tightening sequence in the manual to tighten
the nuts. Each sequence constitutes a ‘Round’. Use 3 rounds to fully tighten to the
required torque of 50 N-m (36.9 lbs/ft or 5.1kg/m).

21. Ensure the cofferdam exit boss (4) is secure with the dowty washer (15) fitted. Fit the
dowty washer (16) and gland (17) (18) into position outside the cofferdam (dry
compartment installation) or inside the cofferdam (wet compartment installation). Any
cables which run through tanks must be housed in heavy wall conduit pipe. Tighten the
main body (17) fully into position, but fully slacken the compression ring (18).
22. Thread the shipyard cable (19) through the gland (17) (18) into the cofferdam body (3).
Connect a correct sized crimp ring (20) onto the shipyard cable (19). Connect the
shipyard cable (19) to the anode electrical connection (6), the connection is made by
adding 1 x M10 half nut (21) and washer (22) onto the anode electrical connection pin
(6). The crimp ring (20) is then placed over the anode electrical connection pin (6) and
secured in place with a washer (23) and M10 nyloc nut (24). This can then be insulated
by applying a piece of heat shrink. Tighten the cable gland compression ring (18) onto
the cable (19) leaving some slack cable inside the cofferdam. Connect the shipyard
cable (19) into the power supply unit via a junction box if required.
23. Make a final visual check of all connections and finally fit the cofferdam lid (7) and
gasket (25) to seal the cofferdam. Fit the lid by fitting one M8 washer (26) over each M8
bolt (27) and tighten the 6 x M8 bolts into the cofferdam body (3). Starting at the #1 bolt,
use cross-pattern tightening sequence in the manual to tighten the nuts. Each sequence
constitutes a ‘Round’. Use 3 rounds to fully tighten to the required torque of 26 N-m
(19.17lbs/ft or 2.63kg/m).
24. After the anode installation work is finished, the cofferdams may be filled with an
electrical insulation compound (This is to be supplied by the shipyard if required).
25. Wash the extraction tool to remove all traces of sea water. Spray the tool with a rust
preventative coating.
26. Re-fit the fuses and turn on the power as per the Diver Operating Procedures for the
vessel.
27. After installation is complete re-commission the system. Refer to section 7 of the
installation manual for commissioning procedures.

CATHELCO LIMITED STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. INTERPRETATION
1.1 The following definitions and rules of interpretation apply in these terms and conditions (“the Conditions”):-
Authorised Person: any director of Cathelco.
Buyer: the person, firm or company who purchases the Goods from Cathelco.
Cathelco: Cathelco Limited, a company registered in England and Wales under registered company number 562740 and whose
registered address is Marine House, Dunston Road, Chesterfield S41 8NY United Kingdom.
Commercial Arbitration: an arbitration process conducted by (and in accordance with the rules of) the London Court of International
Arbitration:-
i) consisting of one arbitrator;
ii) taking place in London;
iii) conducted in the English language; and
iv) seated in England
Contract: any contract between Cathelco and the Buyer for the sale and purchase of the Goods incorporating the Conditions.
Date of Commissioning: the date that the vessel to which the Goods have been fitted is completed and the commissioning report
has been signed. In the case of retrospective fittings on vessels that are already operating, the Date of Commissioning will be the
date upon which either the fitting is completed or (in the event that the vessel is in dry dock during fitting) the vessel is returned to
the water.
Delivery Documents: means the delivery receipt, bill of lading, airway bill or such other document as specified in the Contract as
to be passed to the Buyer on delivery as receipt of delivery.
Delivery Point: such location as is specified in the order confirmation issued by Cathelco or as advised by the Buyer.
Goods: any goods agreed in the Contract to be supplied to the Buyer by Cathelco (including any part or parts of them).
Incoterms: Incoterms 2000 as published by the International Chamber of Commerce.
Intellectual Property Rights: all copyright, database rights, topography rights, design rights, trade marks, patents, domain names
and any other intellectual property rights of a similar nature (whether or not registered) subsisting anywhere in the world in or
associated with the Goods.
1.2 A reference to a particular law is a reference to it as it is in force for the time being taking account of any amendment,
extension, application or re-enactment and includes any subordinate legislation for the time being in force made under it.
1.3 Words in the singular include the plural and in the plural include the singular.
2. APPLICATION OF TERMS
2.1 Subject to any variation under Condition 2.2, the Contract shall be on these Conditions to the exclusion of all other terms and
conditions (including any terms or conditions which the Buyer purports to apply under any purchase order, confirmation of order,
specification or other document) other than those specified by Cathelco in their quotation.
2.2 These Conditions apply to all Cathelco's sales and any variation to these Conditions and any representations about the Goods
shall have no effect unless expressly agreed in writing and signed by an Authorised Person. The Buyer acknowledges that it has
not relied on any statement, promise or representation made or given by or on behalf of Cathelco which is not set out in the
Contract. Nothing in this Condition shall exclude or limit Cathelco's liability for fraudulent misrepresentation.
2.3 Each order or acceptance of a quotation for Goods by the Buyer from Cathelco shall be deemed to be an offer by the Buyer to
buy Goods subject to these Conditions. No order placed by the Buyer shall be deemed to be accepted by Cathelco until a written
acknowledgement of order is issued by Cathelco or (if earlier) Cathelco delivers the Goods to the Buyer.
2.4 Any quotation is given on the basis that no Contract shall come into existence until Cathelco despatches an acknowledgement
of order to the Buyer.
3. DESCRIPTION/PRICE
3.1 Subject to Condition 3.4 below, the quantity, description and price of the Goods shall be as set out in Cathelco's quotation or
acknowledgement of order subject to availability.
3.2 The Buyer shall ensure that the terms of its order and any specifications are complete and accurate. The specification shall
include the waters that the vessel will operate in as well as a full specification of the vessel to which the Goods will be fitted along
with any such other details or information requested by Cathelco.
3.3 Unless the quotation specifies otherwise, all quoted prices for Goods are inclusive of packing, but exclusive of carriage,
insurance, VAT and all other duties, fees and taxes.
3.4 All samples, drawings, descriptive matter, specifications and advertising issued by Cathelco (other than those provided in the
written quotation provided by Cathelco) and any descriptions or illustrations contained in Cathelco's catalogues, brochures or
website are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods described in them. They shall not
form part of the Contract.
4. DELIVERY
4.1 Delivery of the Products shall take place at the Delivery Point. Acceptance of any change to the Delivery Point requested by
the Buyer shall be at Cathelco’s sole discretion and the Buyer shall be liable for any additional expenses incurred by Cathelco as a
result of such change. Cathelco shall arrange for suitable transport to the Delivery Point.
4.2 On delivery Cathelco (or its appointed carrier) shall where necessary provide the Buyer with any UK licence required for the
export of the Goods along with Delivery Documents.
4.3 Any dates specified by Cathelco for delivery of the Goods are intended to be an estimate and time for delivery shall not be
made of the essence by notice unless otherwise agreed in writing by Cathelco. If no dates are so specified, delivery shall be within
a reasonable time taking into account all relevant factors (including without limitation the distance and chosen method of delivery).
The Buyer shall take delivery of the Goods on receipt of adequate notice from Cathelco (being not less than 4 days) that the Goods
are ready for delivery.
4.4 Cathelco may deliver the Goods by separate installments unless otherwise stipulated on the Purchase Order. Each separate
instalment shall be invoiced and paid for in accordance with the provisions of the Contract. Each instalment shall be a separate
T & C Rev 0
Page 1 of 4
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

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.

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.

1.0.1 PRINCIPLES OF CORROSION AND CATHODIC PROTECTION:

Metallic corrosion is an electro-chemical reaction in which the metal combines

Different metals have different tendencies to corrode, termed activity or

A more practical approach is the determination of the tendency of certain metals

This simple cell may be represented as:

Cathodic Protection is a system of preventing corrosion by forcing all surfaces

Typical examples of galvanic cells are:

b) Brass or bronze valves fitted to immersed steel buoyancy tanks or

c) The connection of steel pipes into an otherwise cast iron system.

As indicated previously, a metal can be made cathodic by electrically

2.1.1 IMPRESSED CURRENT CATHODIC PROTECTION:

A metal also can be made cathodic by electrically connecting it to another

Because an external current source is employed, this type of protection is
