Frequently Asked Questions
Demucking removes compacted mud, sediment and heavy residues from cargo or sludge tanks so wash chemistry and fine cleaning can work. It targets tank bottoms, coil nests and dead zones before gas freeing or survey.
After heavy fuel, crude or high-residue histories; before dry dock, hot work, wall-wash targets or a strict next cargo. Early demucking usually shortens total cleaning hours.
Residues generated during demucking are collected under control and planned through licensed, MARPOL-aligned channels. Exact waste scope is confirmed in the mobilisation brief.
