[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

Just two years after completing the first PSPC (Performance Standard for Protective Coatings) gap analysis in a Chinese shipyard, Lloyd's Register and International Paint have completed the 100th analysis in STX France Cruise SA, Saint-Nazaire. Conducted over a two day period by personnel from Lloyd's Register, International Paint and STX France Cruise SA, Saint-Nazaire, the PSPC gap analysis assesses current shipyard coating practices against PSPC requirements. Lloyd's Register and International Paint then jointly deliver a presentation to shipyard senior management and departmental managers. The presentation to all functions is a key aspect of the analysis and is specifically designed to help the shipyard understand that in order to meet the requirements of the PSPC and maximize shipbuilding efficiency, all departments including design, procurement, quality, steelwork, outfitting and production need to be involved, not just the paint department. With gap analyses completed in China and Europe, plans are now developing to begin work in the Americas.
