Switching between cargoes like steel products and bulk grains isn’t just a matter of logistics — it requires surgical-level cleaning.

Residue from previous cargo can result in rejections, delays, and financial losses. Our cross-cargo cleaning process includes:

  • Initial inspection and assessment

  • Mechanical and chemical cleaning

  • Final inspection and certification

We tailor every cleaning operation based on the cargo history, port conditions, and inspection requirements. With CR STAR, your vessel is prepared for whatever cargo comes next — with zero compromise on quality or safety.

No matter the cargo, we make your holds inspection-ready.
