“Anyone can wash. Few can prepare to pass inspection.”
It sounds simple — but anyone who’s worked in tankers knows it’s not.
Cleaning cargo tanks isn’t just about washing walls. It’s about ensuring safety, avoiding contamination, complying with strict regulations, and preventing costly delays or cargo rejections.
In Argentina, inspections before loading sensitive cargoes like soybean oil are known for being rigorous. After discharging cargoes such as fertilizers or gasoil, the cleaning process becomes even more critical.
That’s where we come in.
At UP RIVER MARINE , my team and I board the vessel to support the Chief Officer and the Master throughout the entire tank cleaning process.
We supervise each washing cycle, verify safety and procedures, and guide the crew on how to present the tanks for the upcoming inspection.
We know that final approval is demanding — and we stand firmly on our client’s side to ensure tanks are in the best possible condition, increasing the chances of being accepted on the first inspection.
When there’s no margin for error, having someone on deck looking after your interests isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity.
If your vessels are calling Argentina, we’re here to help.
