Marine barriers are liquid coatings like hold block, paint, and limewash. They're applied to the walls of bulk carrier cargo holds tasked with transporting dirty or corrosive materials.
A checklist of cargo hold cleaning and maintenance tasks includes removing all stains, paint and rust scale, having enough equipment in good condition and ensuring there’s enough cargo hold cleaning solutions aboard for the job.
Common cargo hold issues include staining, corrosion and maritime pollution. Avoid these issues by using barrier solutions, alkaline solutions and environmentally friendly products.
