With our experienced workforce, modern equipment, and strong operational coordination, we ensure that cargo holds and tanks are cleaned efficiently and in full compliance with international maritime standards and inspection requirements. Our services are designed to prepare vessels for their next cargo operation while maintaining safety, environmental compliance, and operational efficiency.

Our cargo hold cleaning services include high-pressure fresh water washing (up to 1000 bar), removal of cargo residues, rust, oil contamination, scale, and loose particles. We are experienced in handling various types of cargo residues such as coal, grain, cement, clinker, fertilizer, salt, and other bulk cargoes, ensuring holds are cleaned to “grain clean” or inspection-ready condition when required.

Bodursan Ship Repair also provides comprehensive tank cleaning services for fuel oil (FO), diesel oil (DO), ballast tanks, bilge tanks, sludge tanks, cargo tanks, and service tanks. Our scope includes sludge removal, degreasing, chemical cleaning, washing, and gas-free preparation, ensuring tanks are safe for inspection, maintenance, or hot work operations.

We are highly experienced in demucking and desludging operations, handling both solid and liquid waste using proper equipment such as pumps, vacuum systems, and manual cleaning tools. All waste handling and disposal are carried out in accordance with local environmental regulations and port authority requirements.

Our teams can operate efficiently both at port and anchorage, including full coordination of logistics such as motorboat transfer, equipment mobilization, and onboard safety arrangements. We ensure that operations are carried out safely, quickly, and without disruption to vessel schedules.

Bodursan Ship Repair also offers gas-free certification support, preparing tanks for inspection or repair by ensuring safe atmospheric conditions. Where required, we can coordinate with authorized inspectors and laboratories.

We provide 24/7 service availability, allowing us to respond to urgent requirements and tight port schedules. Our goal is to minimize vessel downtime while delivering high-quality cleaning results.
