Barge and ship tanker cleaning in North Macedonia

Specialized cleaning of river barges, ship tankers and floating tanks — hold washing, slop water pumping, removal of oil sludge, biological H2S neutralization. ADR-certified team, working in river ports in North Macedonia and the region. 17 years of experience, since 2009.

Specialized cleaning of
vessels and tankers

Cleaning ship tankers and barges is one of the most sought-after specialized services — work on floating tanks, cargo tanks and fuel tanks requires certified staff, atmospheric testing before entry and strict adherence to safety protocols. Our team holds all the required certificates and has 17+ years of experience working with vessels in the region.

We work with shipping companies, river operators, private vessel owners and industrial clients. We schedule the work during planned maintenance windows — when the system is down anyway — so we do not disrupt operations. We have experience with every class of vessel: from small river tanks to large ship tankers.

We pay particular attention to work involving dangerous goods and contaminated slop water — a complete decontamination procedure and ADR transport of hazardous waste. All materials are disposed of at authorized landfills with full documentation for statutory inspection.
