Capability · Hold Cleaning

Hold cleaning to AQIS grain standards.

Dedicated cleaning teams in every port, using quality products and approved procedures — ready for inspection and accreditation.

Once cargo is unloaded, it is important to get all your holds cleaned and prepared for your next cargo. Using quality products and approved procedures, we clean cargo holds, making them ready for inspection and accreditation.

We understand biosecurity and contamination risks, and ensure your holds are cleaned and prepared to AQIS grain standards. We dispose of waste water and products according to Environmental Protection Agency regulations, so land and waterways are protected from contamination.

Our goal is to prepare your hold for your next load.

On busy ships, accidental spills happen from time to time. Fleet Services has a dedicated clean-up service, complete with a 24-hour emergency clean-up service, to get you ship-shape sooner.

Hold & Deck Descaling

We recommend regular descaling of your decks and holds to remove corrosion, dirt, and spills. A clean, descaled ship will need fewer repairs, perform with better fuel economy and withstand hull damage.

Our efficient team can perform hold and deck descaling on your vessel. Alternatively, we have a number of deck descaling machines available for hire or purchase — as the Australian agent and distributor of Rustibus descaling equipment, we keep a large range of new machines and approved spare parts in stock at all times.
