Case Study : DORALEH OIL TERMINAL ABS INSPECTION, DJIBOUTI

As ABS and RINA Recognised External Specialists, a core part of our work involves in-water surveys and inspections.  In April 2018, our professional commercial dive team conducted a detailed survey of the Doraleh Oil Terminal in Djibouti, East Africa, in company with an ABS Group Surveyor.

 

The terminal inspection involved visual inspection of mooring dolphins, thickness checking of piles and cathodic protection evaluation. 

 

A summary of the work conducted included:

 

Visual Inspection

  • 100% visual inspection performed of the in-water zone, atmospheric zone and splash zone of the piles

  • Assessments made of the painting maintenance and levels of corrosion

  • Cleaning of piles to assess levels of pitting and corrosion under marine growth

Cathodic Protection Evaluation

  • Levels of anode efficiency evaluated

  • Levels of anode consumption/wastage evaluated

  • Anode composition analysed

Thickness Survey

  • Thickness survey carried out for splash zone and at depth with ABS approved calibrated gauge
