Supramax bulk carrier — Hold cleaning — riding crew
All five holds ready for the load port surveyor, with no commercial time lost to cleaning.
This is a scope pattern — how we approach a job of this shape — rather than a write-up of one specific contract. Real, permission-cleared case studies are published as they become available.
The problem
Five holds carrying petcoke residue, with a grain-clean requirement at the next load port and only a six-day ballast passage available.
How we worked it
An eight-person riding crew joined at the discharge port and worked the holds in sequence across the passage, sweeping and washing forward-to-aft so completed holds had maximum drying time.
What the approach is built to achieve
All five holds ready for the load port surveyor, with no commercial time lost to cleaning.
