Hold Cleaning for Bulk Carriers: Why It Matters and How MarineSuperCargo Helps

Proper hold cleaning is critical for bulk carriers to safeguard cargo, comply with rules, and operate efficiently. Dirty or improperly cleaned cargo holds can lead to contamination, costly delays, cargo claims, and even vessel detentions. MarineSuperCargo.com changes the game by offering global, tech-enabled marine cleaning.

 

 

The Critical Role of Hold Cleaning in Bulk Shipping

Hold cleaning is not just a routine task. It’s a critical operation that determines whether a vessel is ready to load the next cargo — especially when switching between incompatible cargoes (e.g., from coal to grain). Standards like MARPOL Annex V, IMSBC, and grain inspection rules require holds to meet strict cleanliness criteria.

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
