Nitrogen is used as a medium for cargo quality control and for safety. We plan and supervise purging to the applicable requirements.
The requirements for the use of nitrogen are dictated by SOLAS, the IBC Code, or customer requirements. Effective purging depends on getting the method, sequence and monitoring right, which is why it is also one of the subjects we train crews on directly. Selecting the right method for nitrogen purging of cargo tanks is critically important, as it can save millions of dollars and hundreds of hours of delays for our clients. To specifically prevent demurrage and unnecessary costs, our team has developed a range of efficient nitrogen purging techniques for cargo tanks, supported by specialized tool that we tailor to each individual case.
