2. Lifecycle Timeline

Date Age Event Description By
2018-09-14 0 yr Commissioning New vessel installed, hydrostatic test 16.5 bar witnessed by Kiwa Inspecta Atlas Copco / KI
2018-09-14 0 yr First inspection Initial external and internal inspection passed Kiwa Inspecta
2019-03-10 0.5 yr Maintenance Condensate drain valve replaced (original valve leaking) N. Johansson
2020-09-15 2 yr Scheduled inspection External inspection — no findings Kiwa Inspecta
2021-06-01 2.7 yr Modification Automatic condensate drain timer installed (15 min cycle) N. Johansson
2022-09-18 4 yr Scheduled inspection External inspection — minor surface rust on bottom saddle, wire-brushed and painted Kiwa Inspecta
2023-06-15 4.8 yr Scheduled inspection Internal revision — no corrosion, wall thickness 7.9 mm (UT) Kiwa Inspecta
2023-06-15 4.8 yr Relief valve test SV-001 tested, lifts at 11.4 bar — within tolerance Kiwa Inspecta
2024-03-22 5.5 yr Maintenance Pressure gauge replaced (failed calibration check) N. Johansson
2025-06-15 6.8 yr Scheduled inspection Internal revision — wall thickness 7.8 mm (UT), 0.1 mm loss over 2 years Kiwa Inspecta
2025-06-15 6.8 yr Relief valve test SV-001 tested, lifts at 11.5 bar — OK Kiwa Inspecta

3. Wall Thickness Trend

Date Age (yr) Location Measured (mm) Loss from nominal Annual rate
2018-09-14 0 Bottom shell 8.0
2023-06-15 4.8 Bottom shell 7.9 0.1 mm 0.021 mm/yr
2025-06-15 6.8 Bottom shell 7.8 0.2 mm 0.029 mm/yr

Projected retirement: At current corrosion rate (0.029 mm/yr), minimum thickness of 6.2 mm will be reached in approximately 55 years from manufacture (2073). Well within the 25-year expected service life.

Assessment: Corrosion rate is low and stable. No accelerated degradation detected. Continue monitoring at 2-year intervals.
