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

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). Regulatory codes, including IMSBC and MARPOL Annex V, mandate specific hold conditions before cargo is loaded.

If these standards aren’t met, the results may include:

• Time off-hire for the ship
• Forfeited charter deals
• Heavy penalties or re-cleaning at port
• Cargo contamination claims
