Ship cleaning in the heart of the maritime world

Ships must sail. Only then are you, the client, assured of your profit. Smooth operations and minimizing the number of days in port are two requirements. MSR provides you with this security. We clean tankers of all sizes to perfection at our professional site in Rotterdam, the heart of the maritime world. Some say there is an answer to every question. We believe that there is a solution to every cleaning problem. From complete tanks to the engine room. In port and offshore. Modern equipment goes hand in hand with the hands-on mentality of MSR, so characteristic of Rotterdam. You can rely on the agreements we make, enabling swift departure and preparing you for your next shipment. This combination of experience, equipment and approach renders MSR the specialist in ship cleaning, berth and offshore projects.

We’ve got the people, the equipment and the drive

Ship cleaning requires the latest equipment. Moreover, it requires people who know what it is all about. MSR has more than 25 years of experience in the maritime cleaning industry. We have a worldwide reputation for our unrivalled ability to clean vessels inside and out. We are ready to assist 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at a highly accessible, ISPS-certified site in the Botlek, the Rotterdam Service Terminal or at a location of your choice. We use equipment that can be relied upon to provide intensive yet careful cleaning, such as the Flex-Force 3000 ADR, which deals with cargo holds up to 200 metres long and 30 metres deep in a single pass. Our specialized equipment; compressors, vacuum trucks, inland barges (including vacuum), highpressure units and other equipment, is always in first-rate condition. Chemicals are on hand to meet every need. We have our own in-house expertise, allowing us to work in the right way on-board all types of ships. At MSR, clean means really clean. Effective and efficient. Our staff work perfectly together, our tasks are clear.

We keep everything clean, especially partnerships

At MSR, professionalism and reliability are paramount. Every aspect of our organization is shipshape. And yet within such precise operations there is always room for the flexibility that on-board work entails. This demands a great deal from our specialists behind the scenes. A keen understanding of the scope of a job. Knowledge of the cleaning techniques required. And above all firm commitment to your commercial interests. MSR adheres to a transparent way of working; you know where you stand, not only in terms of scheduling but also in terms of costs. More than ever, there are competitive advantages to be gained by shipping companies through keeping their associated costs to a minimum. Selecting a ship cleaning firm that combines perfect work with highly competitive rates is something that ties in with this modern vision. Safety is our highest priority. MSR has a collection licence for maritime waste, is VCA-certified and VIHB-registered.

We like the challenges that come our way

Cleaning Heavy Fuel Oil tanks for a new shipment of red diesel oil, preparing a ship for grain that has just carried coal, cleaning up serious oil spills: nothing phases us, even when the work nigh on demands the impossible from our people and equipment. Doesn’t working in port and on-board always present a manifold set of challenges? As specialists in maritime ship cleaning, we know this better than anyone. After all, we like to go that step further to ensure customer satisfaction. And we always do so with a smile on our faces. Cleaning ships is hard work, but it is also rewarding work. Seeing a cargo hold or tank gleaming after extensive cleaning. The feeling in the whole team of having completed a task perfectly and swiftly. And up for the next challenge with adrenalin still streaming through our veins. Keen to discover what challenges you will be putting our way the next time.

And we will be ready for them!
