“In situ study of ballast tank corrosion on ships: part 2”. Verstraelen H, de Baere K, Schillemans W, Lemmens L, Dewil R, Lenaerts S, Potters G, Materials performance 48, 54 (2009)
Abstract: A study was undertaken to determine causes and effects of corrosion processes in ballast tanks. Part 1 of this article (October 2009 MP) described the data collection. Part 2 describes the development of a corrosion index (CI) derived from the general International Association of Classification Societies corrosion assessment methods. The CI can be used in situ to assess ballast tank corrosion. An average timeline for-corrosion of tanks is presented.

“A field study of the effectiveness of sacrificial anodes in ballast tanks of merchant ships”. De Baere K, Verstraelen H, Lemmens L, Lenaerts S, Dewil R, Van Ingelgem Y, Potters G, Journal of marine science and technology 19, 116 (2014). http://doi.org/10.1007/S00773-013-0232-3
Abstract: Sacrificial anodes have become a standard practice for the protection of ballast tanks of merchant vessels against corrosive damage. A well protected tank should extend the life span of a ship and consequently enhances its economic value. An in situ survey comprising more than 100 merchant vessels provided the opportunity to measure the impact of these anodes on the life expectancy of these vessels. Contrary to the general belief of these anodes beneficial effect, no significant difference was found in our observations in terms of corrosion occurrence between ship populations with and without sacrificial anodes, across all ship ages. This may be explained by the highly variable conditions and the complex geometry in a ballast tank severely impede optimal and straightforward installation of these anodes in these tanks. Also, poorly placed anodes in it may harm the integrity of the coating of the tank. We therefore plead for uniform and clear rules on anode installation and inspection.
