Chemical transportation for the maritime industry
A successful cleaning plan hinges on knowing your product’s properties. Is it water-soluble? Thick and sticky (viscous)? Does it solidify at high temperatures (high melting point)? Can it form long chains (polymerize) or react with oxygen (oxidize)? Overlooking these factors can turn a simple cleaning operation into a mess.
For “High Purity Standards,” things get even trickier. Many cargoes, once visually inspected, now require a wall wash. The exact procedures and methods for wall wash testing can vary greatly depending on the port and even the supplier, yet they heavily influence whether a tank passes or fails inspection.
On a positive note, in 2018, we successfully handled the cleaning and loading of 122 chemical shipments without any problems at either loading or discharge ports. This demonstrates our expertise in navigating the complexities of cargo properties and cleaning procedures.
Our chemical knowledge, experience with different coating types, ship cleaning systems, best use of cleaning chemicals, all puts us in the best possible position to make your tank washing process an efficient and successful one.
Our services are global! Whether it be Supercargo support, cleaning chemical supplies or Bunker Surveys. We can offer a solution for most requirements in many global locations.
