Why Hold Cleaning is Critical for Bulk Carriers – And How MarineSuperCargo Simplifies It Globally

Proper hold cleaning is critical for bulk carriers to safeguard cargo, comply with rules, and operate efficiently. If cargo holds are not cleaned properly, the result can be contamination, delays, claims, and even vessel detention. MarineSuperCargo.com changes the game by offering global, tech-enabled marine cleaning.

 

 

The Critical Role of Hold Cleaning in Bulk Shipping

It goes beyond routine work — hold cleaning ensures ships can carry new cargo, such as switching from coal to grain, without contamination. International standards like the IMSBC Code, MARPOL Annex V, and grain inspection protocols demand specific cleanliness levels before loading can proceed.

Falling short of these rules can result in:

• Downtime for the vessel
• Loss of charter opportunities
• Significant fines or forced port-side re-cleaning
• Disputes over cargo contamination
