Hold Cleaning for Bulk Carriers: Why It Matters and How MarineSuperCargo Helps
Proper hold cleaning is critical for bulk carriers to safeguard cargo, comply with rules, and operate efficiently. If cargo holds are not cleaned properly, the result can be contamination, delays, claims, and even vessel detention. MarineSuperCargo.com changes the game by offering global, tech-enabled marine cleaning.
The Critical Role of Hold Cleaning in Bulk Shipping
It goes beyond routine work — hold cleaning ensures ships can carry new cargo, such as switching from coal to grain, without contamination. Standards like MARPOL Annex V, IMSBC, and grain inspection rules require holds to meet strict cleanliness criteria.
Falling short of these rules can result in:
• Downtime for the vessel
• Loss of charter opportunities
• Significant fines or forced port-side re-cleaning
• Disputes over cargo contamination
