Innovative Solutions for Dry Bulk Carrier Hold Cleaning

Dry bulk carrier hold cleaning practices of the past are holding you back.

For instance, lime wash doesn't protect against corrosion as well as modern hold blocks, and toxic chemicals make it more difficult to comply with modern marine safety standards. They’re also dangerous for cleaning crews to interact with. 

The science of cargo hold cleaning continues to improve, leading to more innovative techniques for cleaning today. 

One such area of improvement is the development of better products. More advanced barrier solutions, like hold blocks, have emerged to replace lime wash. And strong, eco-friendly cleaning solutions replace toxic chemicals, which aids compliance, and is better for marine environments and people. Additionally, both of these are designed to work faster and more efficiently than past products.

Dry bulk carrier hold cleaning innovations

• Replace lime wash with a modern hold block
• Replace toxic chemicals with state-of-the-art, eco-friendly cleaning solutions

Hold Blocks

Hold blocks are more effective marine barriers than lime wash. Our own RBM HoldBlock® is specially designed for ships transporting sulphur, salt, green delayed petcoke or other corrosive and/or greasy materials. Only a light spray is required, using low-pressure equipment, to apply a thin coating. Once dry, it acts as an effective, flexible barrier to reduce the corrosive or staining influence of problematic cargoes.

Eco-friendly products

Gone are the days when harsh chemicals were needed to clean cargo holds. Modern innovations in dry bulk carrier hold cleaning combine environmental responsibility with potent cleaning solutions. In fact, RBM HoldWash-HD® is the strongest, eco-friendly, cleaning solution on the market. It’s extensively tested and designed to meet all your needs: labour-saving, cost-efficient, and effective, while also being safe for marine habitats and your crew.

Getting stuck in past practices, with familiar but old products, is an expensive and time-consuming mistake. It inevitably hurts your bottom line when it simply takes longer to get through each cargo hold cleaning cycle. Fast turnaround times are the lifeblood of success.
