Chemical Tank Cleaning / Cargo suitability for vessel type

Successful tank cleaning is a blend of experience and chemical knowledge and our role is to bring these two areas together to achieve any given goal, whatever it may be. Too many times cargo holds/tanks are unfairly rejected by the cargo inspector at loading port causing considerable economical damages to all parties involved. Most of the times the cargo inspectors at load port mark the vessel’s holds/tanks as “dirty” without taking into account that they should be question the holds/tanks status of “suitability to load” the next cargo instead of their subjective status of “clean” or “dirty”.

Economically efficient and time effective tank cleaning operation is a matter of great experience acquired out in the field and in-depth chemical knowledge of the hundreds of different cargoes shipped every day at sea.

Skills of our team include the knowledge to assess the different cleanliness degree required by the different cargoes to be loaded, each of them with their unique quality specifications that needs to be considered during tanks preparation.In additionwe will provide you with their extensive knowledge of the appropriate chemical detergents effective in washing specific cargoes residues from the vessel’s cargo tanks.

On these basis we are frequently asked to board the vessels during navigations to arrange and supervise the cargo tanks cleaning operations in order for the vessel to arrive at the next loading port with her cargo tanks in indisputable cleanliness conditions.Post cleanliness survey are also performed routinely by our chemists. Wall Wash Procedure and tanks cleaning inspection jointly with other cargo surveyors are within our core business and most appreciated services.
