Vessel Tank Cleaning

Cargo and ballast tank cleaning for marine vessels and industrial facilities.

Overview

Cargo grade changes, dry-dock preparation, survey reentry, and shore-side process-vessel cleaning all demand thorough internal cleaning under tight schedules. IMS supports marine vessels and industrial facilities with mobile crews and equipment that mobilise directly to the asset.

We handle the full spectrum: cargo tanks to last-cargo, water-white, or full hot-wash standards, ballast tanks (deslagging and mud removal), bilges, slop tanks, and shore-side pressure vessels and process drums on chemical and refinery sites. Slops and wash water are received and processed onshore via our licensed waste-reception partners.

Every cubic metre lifted is logged with documented chain-of-custody from skin-of-tank to onshore reception.
