Vessel disinfection
Some agricultural commodities are a threat to infestation by insects or bacteria, such as Salmonella and cockroaches. These infestations are often detected during analyses conducted after the cargo has been loaded onto a vessel, or during discharge sampling. To ensure the safe handling of subsequent cargoes, the European Union (EU) and various industry schemes, including GMP+, require that a vessel or warehouse be disinfected before loading another parcel.

Cockroaches disinfection
Cockroach infestations aboard sea-going vessels pose significant health and safety risks. These pests, including species such as the German, Oriental, or Brown-banded cockroach, threaten the wellbeing of crew members and can cause damage to electronic equipment. To manage these risks, comprehensive disinfection and pest control treatments are essential.
Our approach to managing these infestations combines several effective actions:
1. Application of Imidacloprid Residual Poison: this powerful agent is placed in all relevant locations throughout the vessel to ensure a broad and enduring impact against cockroaches.
2. Placement of Food Pheromone Catch Traps: these traps are strategically placed in various locations to attract and capture cockroaches, reducing their population onboard.
3. Use of K-Othrine Residual Spray: This spray is used in hard-to-reach places where cockroaches might hide, ensuring that even the most inaccessible areas are treated.
In addition to these targeted actions, regular inspections are conducted to assess hygiene levelsaboard the vessel. This helps identify potential hotspots for infestations and ensures that all areas, especially those prone to cockroach activity such as the kitchen, mess rooms, and other common areas, are kept clean and free from pests.
Salmonella disinfection
To effectively combat Salmonella contamination, we offer comprehensive disinfection services tailored to meet the stringent requirements of various industry standards, including GMP+, FCA, and IDTF. Our approach to disinfection includes:
- Warehouse Disinfection According to GMP+/FCA/IDTF Cleaning Schedule D: We thoroughly disinfect warehouses to prevent Salmonella contamination, adhering strictly to the cleaning protocols outlined in GMP+/FCA/IDTF Schedule D. This ensures that all areas are treated effectively, reducing the risk of contamination and helping to maintain a clean and safe environment.
- Disinfection According to IDTF Cleaning Schedule M: For areas requiring more frequent or specialized attention, we perform disinfection according to IDTF Cleaning Schedule M. This schedule is designed to address specific areas that are at higher risk of Salmonella presence, ensuring they are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
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.
