Demucking & Tank Cleaning

Sludge & Waste Disposal

Collection, transfer and documented disposal of sludge, slop and oily residues generated during demucking and tank cleaning.

Sludge & Waste Disposal

Demucking and tank cleaning produce sludge, slop and oily water that must be handled as carefully as the cleaning itself. Bodursan treats waste logistics as part of the job: residues are separated, transferred through authorised channels and documented for the owner and the authorities.

What we arrange

  • Segregation on board Sludge, slop, oily water and solid waste such as rags and bags are kept apart.
  • Transfer to reception Barges, road tankers or reception facilities booked in line with the vessel's schedule.
  • Licensed carriers and facilities Waste is carried and treated by licensed transporters and authorised facilities.
  • Documents for the ship Delivery receipts and disposal certificates are passed to the master for the Oil Record Book and kept on file for the owner.

Urgent jobs follow the same containment and documentation steps as planned ones.

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.
