Hold and Tank Cleanliness Surveys are essential before loading any sensitive cargo—particularly food-grade commodities, chemicals, or clean petroleum products. At Good Wood Marine Services, we provide expert inspections to verify that ship holds and tanks are free of contaminants, residues, odors, rust, or moisture. These surveys help prevent cargo damage, contamination, and costly rejection or cleaning delays. Our experienced surveyors follow international cleanliness standards and port authority requirements to determine the readiness of spaces for loading. With accurate reporting and clear photographic documentation, we help ensure your vessel is prepared to carry cargo safely and in full regulatory compliance.
Our cleanliness survey includes:
Visual inspection of holds and tanks for rust scale, residues, odor, and staining
Verification of previous cargo records to assess contamination risk
Assessment of cleaning effectiveness, including chemical or water wash results
Inspection for moisture, condensation, or leaks in bulkheads and flooring
Evaluation of structural integrity of surfaces and coatings
Cleanliness grading according to cargo suitability (grain standard, food grade, etc.)
Pre-loading clearance confirmation for port or cargo surveyor sign-off
High-resolution photo documentation of all surveyed areas
Compliance check with charter party or cargo owner’s standards
Clear, actionable reporting to support immediate operations
Good Wood Marine Services is a trusted provider of marine surveying, cargo inspection, and consultancy solutions.
