Our Hold Cleaning Process
The cleaning process of a ship’s hold involves planning and executing it carefully. We, at Clean Ship, follow the step-by-step procedure so that every place and corner of the hold is cleaned well. This is how we do it:
Pre-Cleaning Inspection
We search the hold of the ship before starting cleaning. This can be very beneficial because we have a chance to detect all types of residue in the previous cargo, dust, and even any kind of harmful substances. Moreover, we search the overall hold to check on any possible breakdown that needs fixing. Doing all this makes it easy for us to prepare an ideal method on how to clean that area.
Safety Protocols and Setup
Safety is our priority over everything. Our people follow strict rules and regulations just to ensure all the people working on board are safe. We provide proper cleanliness by using all safety barriers while wearing protective equipment and proper ventilation during the cleaning process. We use only safe chemical cleaning supplies in our operations to ensure that neither humans nor nature is harmed during the process.
Cleaning Procedures
Once the inspection and setup have been done, the actual cleaning begins. It depends on what type of cargo the hold has carried before. The cleaning technique depends on the previous cargo. The clanship team uses many combinations of techniques such as pressure washing, scrubbing, and using specialized cleaning agents to remove dirt, debris, and all remnants of the previous cargo. We pay attention to every inch of the hold, ensuring that it is entirely clean and prepared for the next shipment.
Post-Cleaning Assessment
After all cleaning is complete, our crew checks everything and ensures that the cleanliness is done as per the requirement. The crew checks all areas of the hold for remaining dirt or debris, and that the hold has been sanitized if it is essential. Additional cleaning is conducted until the hold reaches our expectations for cleanliness. The final check ensures the safety of future cargo.
