Cargo hold cleaning advanced techniques

• Update your cleaning solutions
• Revise cleaning techniques

Updating your cleaning solutions requires a revision of cleaning techniques in order to take advantage of superior efficiency and efficacy.

Use modern solutions 

Modern solutions are unquestioningly better. For example, an independent lab tested and confirmed that marine barrier RBM HoldBlock® has superior protective qualities over a prolonged period in a hold carrying caustic sulphur. The dramatic improvement can be seen here.

Since modern solutions like this marine barrier are more protective, cargo hold integrity is upheld far better and for far longer than it would be with older, outdated solutions.

Why they matter: Technological advances allow the creation of specially designed and targeted products that factor-in the specific needs of cargo hold cleaning and bulk carrier shipping operations. It makes them:

• More effective
• More protective
• Easily applied & removed
• Non-toxic
• Environmentally friendly

Refine cleaning techniques

Modern solutions are more effective, more easily applied and removed, are non-toxic and environmentally friendly.  Accordingly, crews should revise cleaning techniques to take advantage of more efficient and faster cargo hold cleaning. 

Why it matters: Diligent preparation with updated solutions yields:

• Faster turnaround times
• Fewer delays
• Reduced chance of contamination
• Increased crew safety
• Easier compliance with cleaning standards and MARPOL protocols.

Cleaning techniques that incorporate modern, technologically advanced cargo hold cleaning solutions, along with cleaning procedures designed to take advantage of them, make a difference where it matters most in bulk carrier shipping operations: fast turnarounds and cargo hold integrity/lifespan.
