How protecting your cargo and your investment means keeping your cargo hold clean

Cargo holds are the backbone of your dry bulk shipping operations so keeping them in good condition is paramount. From protecting your cargo to safeguarding your ships, there are a host of benefits bulk carrier owners and charterers reap with every voyage. For example, keeping your cargo free of contaminants; keeping your holds in peak working order; and avoiding unnecessary delays and fines are just a few.

Cargo hold cleaning protects your cargo

• Protect cargo from previous cargo residue contamination. Even a single grain can cause an entire load to fail.
• Protect cargo from contamination from rust and paint scale. Scale needs to be thoroughly cleaned from all cargo hold surfaces with suitable high-pressure equipment.
• Ensure hatches are clean to prevent water ingress into the hold or air transfer by providing a tight seal.
