Qatar – Hold cleaning for dry bulk vessels

Thorough hold cleaning between cargoes is essential to meet cleanliness standards, prevent contamination, and prepare for the next voyage. This practice prevents cargo rejection, delays, claims and operational disruptions. We take advantage of Hamad’s strategic position and 17-meter-deep basin to provide this service in partnership with the port authority and port operators. Our team can simultaneously clean the holds of up to three vessels at our designated hold cleaning berth, providing you with:

  • Fast turnaround
  • Reduced waiting time, anchorage delays and shifting expenses.
  • Compliance with MARPOL & ISO standards.
  • Certified inspections by AQIS-accredited surveyors.
  • 360° support combining cleaning with husbandry, surveying, waste disposal and other support services.
  • Access to berths and equipment if you prefer to use your own crew for hold cleaning.
