Service: Vessel tanks
Tank cleaning at GCC ports
Tank cleaning sits on the critical path between cargo operations and the next loading window, with limited tolerance for delay or non-conformity. Inconsistent execution, inadequate waste handling or incomplete documentation can result in extended port stays and complications at subsequent ports of call. BluFlow delivers tank cleaning to a defined operational standard across the GCC, with waste handling aligned to port reception facility requirements and documentation suitable for class, flag and port state inspection.
Residue and waste handling procedure
Collection
Segregated containment at the tank, with no commingling of residue categories.
Segregation
Residues classified by type and disposal route in accordance with the port reception facility’s acceptance criteria.
Reception
Residues transferred to the port’s licensed reception facility against signed receipt.
Certification
Disposal certificate issued and logged against the vessel record, available for class, flag and port state inspection.
Each engagement produces a single documentation pack containing the following records:
- Pre-clean condition record
- Cleaning method statement
- Residue type and volume log
- Port reception facility receipts
- Disposal certificates
- Post-clean inspection pack
