Key Factors in Choosing Marine Cleaning Solutions

You get what you pay for. It’s an expression that encapsulates what happens when you use general-purpose marine cleaning solutions to clean and prep your cargo holds. The result is crews spend more time cleaning. They need to work harder to attain the same level of cleanliness achieved by better formulas. They have to repeat cleaning cycles to bring it up to the required standard. Turnaround times go up; the risk of failed inspections go up. Costs go up. Profits sink.

It pays to work with the absolute best marine cleaning solutions available. But what makes a solution great? How do you choose? Here’s a list of key factors in choosing marine cleaning solutions that really make a difference. They need to be specially designed for the job; fully tested, easy to use, and safe for the environment

Choose effective marine cleaning solutions

• Specially designed
• Tested for efficacy
• Easy and safe to use
• Environmentally friendly

You want the solutions to do the bulk of the work, so your crew are able to speed through the cleaning process with reliable, stellar results. Ships make each port of call on schedule. Turnaround times are excellent. Business is great! 

Specially designed

Choose solutions that are specifically designed to target the areas you need them too. For instance, to fully remove the residues left by greasy cargoes like green delayed petcoke, look for a solution that is deeply penetrating and long-lasting. Crews only have to clean once and are able to do it quickly so holds can be prepped for the next cargo.

Tested for efficacy

Cargo hold cleaning is a tough job that requires strong and effective marine cleaning solutions. Choose quality products that have been thoroughly tested for effectiveness so you know they can deliver the expected, superior results.

Easy and safe to use 

When products are easy and safe to use, efficiency goes up. There’s less fussing, less memory-work, less chance for usage errors, and less chance for injury. Training crew members is also quicker. 

Ease of use applies to products that work in concert with each other because that contributes to faster processing times. A good example of this is from our own line of marine cleaning solutions, where RBM HoldWash-HD® has been designed to remove our barrier solution RBM HoldBlock®.

Environmentally safe

Environmentally safe solutions enable better compliance with marine safety standards and protocols. Anytime you can use solutions that streamline adherence, without compromising effectiveness or efficiency, means more time to move cargo.
