Vessel disinfection

Some agricultural commodities get infested by insects or by bacteria, such as Salmonella. This is often found during analyses after the cargo is already loaded on a vessel or during discharge sampling. To be able to safely handle a next cargo the EU and various industry schemes such as GMP+, ask that a vessel (or warehouse) is disinfected before it continues to load another parcel.

    Cockroaches

    In the maritime industry aboard sea-going vessels, cockroach infestations pose significant health and safety risks for both crew members and electronic equipment. These unwelcome pests come in various species, such as the German, Oriental, or Brown-banded cockroach. Preventing and managing infestations is crucial.

    Sea-going vessels unwittingly provide an ideal habitat for these pests. With ample access to water, food, warmth and countless potential hiding spots, cockroaches thrive on board. Commonly found in the pantry, kitchen and mess rooms, they contaminate food and food preparation areas, potentially spreading harmful pathogens. Allergies and asthma can also be triggered by their allergens. Moreover, their presence can negatively impact crew morale and even cause electrical issues in control cabinets, computers, and digital instruments.

    Get rid of cockroaches

    Cockroach control on marine vessels can be exceptionally challenging due to the unique construction characteristics of these ships. While self-inspection is your initial line of defense, once signs of infestation appear, professional intervention becomes necessary.
