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.
A marine barrier creates a thin film that acts as a protective barrier between the cargo and the ship. This added layer minimises the damage from caustic cargoes, and reduces the cleaning time removing oily residues after transporting greasy cargoes.
