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<\/b> provides professional Ultrasonic Leak Testing (ULT)<\/b> \u2013 the most advanced, accurate, and reliable solution available today.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Why Choose Ultrasonic Testing Over Hose Testing?<\/span><\/h3>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ultrasonic Testing (ULT)<\/b> offers superior advantages:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Absolute Precision:<\/b> Detects even the smallest gaps that are invisible to the naked eye or impenetrable by water.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Non-Destructive & Dry:<\/b> The process is completely dry, ensuring no damage to moisture-sensitive cargo inside the hold.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Operational Flexibility:<\/b> Testing can be conducted regardless of whether the vessel is empty or loaded, and is unaffected by freezing weather conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Efficiency:<\/b> Rapid execution without the need for high-pressure water systems or drainage management.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

    Our Professional Inspection Process<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Leveraging a team of highly experienced surveyors and internationally certified equipment, we follow a rigorous inspection protocol:<\/span><\/p>\n

    1. Visual Inspection:<\/b> Assessing the physical condition of hatch covers, rubber packings, compression bars, and drainage channels.<\/span><\/p>\n

    2. Transmitter Placement:<\/b> Positioning the ultrasonic transmitter inside the cargo hold before securing the hatch covers.<\/span><\/p>\n

    3. Signal Detection:<\/b> Surveyors use a calibrated receiver to scan all joint lines and cross-joints.<\/span><\/p>\n

    4. Data Analysis:<\/b> Any sound leakage exceeding allowable decibel (dB) limits identifies a specific point of potential water ingress.<\/span><\/p>\n

    5. Certification:<\/b> Issuing an objective, transparent, and comprehensive Inspection Report recognized by international maritime stakeholders.<\/span><\/p>\n
