Abstract: Paint is almost a crucial matter when it comes to shipping industry. Painting is necessary to reduce percentage of corrosion that may occur in surface of a vessel. However, when it comes to paint estimation, it has always become a problem. To assist in this problem, this research was conducted. As for this research, it has been specifically on the Paint Estimation for a 45m UPC Vessel. The research was conducted at the MSET Shipbuilding Corporation Sdn Bhd's yard at Pulau Duyung. This study was conducted in order to provide a better and more accurate estimation of painting amount and cost for the 45 meter Utility Personal Carrier (UPC) vessel. The estimation included the detailed amount of paint for every compartments that required painting, the total amount of paint (in litre), the detailed cost for each compartments painted, the total cost for painting process (paint product only) for the 45m UPC vessel and also have predicted the paint amount and cost for different sizes of ships. From that, the value can later be used on any other sizes of vessels, including this 45m UPC vessel. However, the method involved in this research would be slightly different, where the Simpson Rule was used to calculate the total area of hull for both port and starboard side. As for the industry, the usual method used to estimate the surface area of hull to be painted was based on Rectangular Box Theory. At the end of this experiment, it has been shown that by applying Simpsons Rule as one of the techniques in finding the area of hull gave smaller value on the quantity of paint needed than the industrial method and hence lead to a saving in cost for the 45m UPC Vessel.
