Most commodities shipped must be protected from contamination from various sources. Some dry bulk cargoes are sensitive to humidity, some are exposed to attack from vermin and insects and some may risk decomposition if contained in wrong environment. Most liquid cargoes can potentially be contaminated by external sources and other liquids such as a different cargo in an adjacent cargo tank, incorrect temperatures and even hazardous chemical reactions with other liquids or substances.
We emphasize the importance of a throughout cleanliness inspection before loading of products into ship’s holds and tanks, shore tanks, railway carriages, trucks, containers etc. Also to avoid contamination the condition of any cargo discharged is thoroughly inspected before transferring to another location.
