In maritime transport, cargo damage resulting from seawater ingress through hatch covers remains a primary concern for Shipowners, Charterers, and P&I Clubs. To mitigate risks and protect our clients’ interests, Viet Marine Control Joint Stock Company provides professional Ultrasonic Leak Testing (ULT) – the most advanced, accurate, and reliable solution available today.
Why Choose Ultrasonic Testing Over Hose Testing?
While traditional Hose Testing was once the industry standard, it presents several drawbacks: the risk of wetting moisture-sensitive cargo, the inability to perform tests during cargo operations, and difficulty in pinpointing microscopic leakages.
Ultrasonic Testing (ULT) offers superior advantages:
-
Absolute Precision: Detects even the smallest gaps that are invisible to the naked eye or impenetrable by water.
-
Non-Destructive & Dry: The process is completely dry, ensuring no damage to moisture-sensitive cargo inside the hold.
-
Operational Flexibility: Testing can be conducted regardless of whether the vessel is empty or loaded, and is unaffected by freezing weather conditions.
-
Efficiency: Rapid execution without the need for high-pressure water systems or drainage management.
Our Professional Inspection Process
Leveraging a team of highly experienced surveyors and internationally certified equipment, we follow a rigorous inspection protocol:
1. Visual Inspection: Assessing the physical condition of hatch covers, rubber packings, compression bars, and drainage channels.
2. Transmitter Placement: Positioning the ultrasonic transmitter inside the cargo hold before securing the hatch covers.
3. Signal Detection: Surveyors use a calibrated receiver to scan all joint lines and cross-joints.
4. Data Analysis: Any sound leakage exceeding allowable decibel (dB) limits identifies a specific point of potential water ingress.
5. Certification: Issuing an objective, transparent, and comprehensive Inspection Report recognized by international maritime stakeholders.
