New Improved COVID Disinfection Service To Protect Ship & Crew

821

According to a Marine Insight article, the Rotterdam-based company DisinfectYour.com has launched a new service to help vessel owners and crew respond to COVID-19 outbreaks.

Vessel Disinfection Service

The service includes complete disinfection of closed areas on a vessel, as well as care for the crew – including sanitized transfers between the vessel and COVID-safe accommodation in Rotterdam – during the treatment.

Why is it important?

Even vessels that have spent a long time at sea can still harbor potentially dangerous microorganisms including viruses, with sleeping quarters and galleys particularly fertile breeding grounds for germs and bacteria due to the number of people using these areas. Disinfecting these work areas is a critical part of looking after crew and vessels in the midst of a global pandemic.

How will they do it?

A new focus on biohazards means it is likely to remain an important part of vessel maintenance even after the current situation has eased.

Nico Vroom, CEO, DisinfectYour.com, said: “Despite strong regulations and safety procedures, COVID-19 can still sneak onboard and we are seeing more vessels being disinfected as outbreaks continue. Our team of specialists has the experience, resources, and knowledge to clean and disinfect any closed space within vessels of any type.”

Vessels are treated using highly effective equipment approved by the UN and the World Health Organization. Nebulisers create a fine disinfectant mist that quickly covers surfaces, enabling the vessel to re-enter service as soon as possible pending a safety check after surfaces have dried.

Are they trustworthy?

DisinfectYour.com has a strong pedigree of sanitizing workplaces – including airports, public transport facilities, shopping centers, and offices as well as ships – to the highest environmental and occupational safety standards. The company’s processes target both visible dirt and invisible organic material to eliminate microorganisms, protecting the health and well-being of its clients’ employees, customers, and visitors.
