Some employments need more than a clean-looking tank. Sensitive cargoes, charterer requirements and wall-wash tests set limits that only careful final cleaning can meet. Once the heavy residues are gone, Bodursan arranges fine cleaning of the tank surfaces to the agreed standard.
What fine cleaning involves
- Agreed acceptance criteria The standard is defined in advance from the next cargo and charterer or terminal requirements.
- Surface finishing Bulkheads, bottoms, pipes and fittings are cleaned with methods suited to the coating and the residue type.
- HP/UHP where needed High-pressure washing is used on spots where residues still cling to the surface.
- Inspection support We support the visual inspection and the wall-wash sampling, and correct any areas that do not pass.
Fine cleaning works best when demucking and sludge removal have already cleared the heavy residues.
To plan the job, send us the last cargoes, the tanks involved, the estimated residue volume, the next employment and where the vessel will be. We will come back with a programme that fits the port call or yard period.
Why Bodursan
- Planned with the port call Our agency team aligns crews, permits, waste reception and yard or terminal slots, so cleaning does not hold the vessel up.
- Safety first in enclosed spaces Gas measurements, entry permits, ventilation and standby arrangements are in place before anyone enters a tank.
- Waste handled properly Every residue removed from the tanks is collected, delivered to authorised receivers and documented for the ship's records.
- Coverage across Turkey From the Tuzla head office we work in Tuzla, Yalova and Izmit Bay shipyards, at Istanbul and Dardanelles anchorages and in the main Turkish ports.
