Novosealand provides professional cargo holds cleaning service around the world. We acquired many years’ experience in preparing the holds up to grain standard in the short term. Our teams of skilled industrial alpinists (climbers) certified to perform marine high-altitude work are equipped with modern equipment and instruments, allowing to clean any hard-to-reach area in the cargo holds and to deal with any hard-to-remove cargo residues remained in the holds. Their experience and qualification provide the opportunity to solve any problem of any complexity with no delays. Our foremen are engineers, able to arrange smooth cooperation with a ship’s crew and distribute time and resources rationally, allowing them to handle a job quickly.
That's nothing new that many Shipowners and Time Charterers continued to face with such issue as a failure during hold inspection, leading to delays and huge losses. The major problem has often been lack of access to high-to-reach areas in the holds due to their specific constructions and large sizes. It is really quite difficult to undertake such work properly without special equipment, techniques, practical skills and abilities. Since the challenge nowadays is to clean ship's cargo holds up to grain standard quickly and avoid holds inspection failure same time, it has been decided by Novosealand to create several riding teams of industrial climbers able to reach any unreachable area in the hold and to remove any kind of cargo residues remained over there. It doesn't matter how many times your ship carried coal. There is always a chance to load grain or other clean cargo.
