MarineInspection supports bulk carrier holds, tanker cargo tanks, container holds, general cargo holds, reefer holds, tween decks, and specialized cargo spaces. The system includes specific checklists for each cargo type and vessel configuration.
Each hold is inspected against the cleaning standard the next cargo requires — swept, washed or grain-clean. Photo evidence is attached at every stage, and once all checks pass the system generates a professional cleanliness certificate ready to present to charterers and surveyors.
