摘要

The internal surfaces of a tank for liquids, for example a cargo tank or ballast tank of a ship, are coated by application of a metal plating composition to them by means of an applicator to form a metal layer at least 1 micron thick. The plating composition may be an electroless plating composition or an electroplating composition and is preferably thickened or gelled so that it is thixotropic or does not drip from downwardly facing surfaces.
