ASTRACT
The project, titled "The Effect of Sandblasting Operation on a Hull of a Vessel," explores the multifaceted impact of sandblasting, a common maintenance procedure in maritime industries. Vessel hulls, vital to the integrity and performance of ships, are routinely subjected to sandblasting to remove rust, paint, and contaminants. However, this project seeks to comprehensively investigate the implications of this practice on hull integrity, surface quality, and its environmental repercussions. Through a combination of literature review, field data collection, laboratory testing, and environmental assessments, this research project aims to shed light on the consequences of sandblasting operations. By analyzing data and applying engineering principles, this study will offer recommendations for best practices that can minimize potential adverse effects. The expected outcomes include improved hull maintenance strategies, potential cost savings, and a reduced environmental footprint. This project aspires to provide valuable insights and guidance for the maritime industry, shipyard operators, and environmental authorities
