It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the global trade is based upon the import and export f goods among the different countries. Oil is exported to all the countries from the Middle East and the Asian countries are rich with fertile soil hence they are known best for their export of vegetables and other eatables. Similarly the goods are being manufactured in China which is at the time the biggest manufacturer of goods from the smallest needle to the biggest things such as engines and other parts. Hence the only way countries have such thriving businesses is due to the trade among different countries. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the only driving force of the trade among countries is the transport ship which makes it possible to ship the goods from one country to another.

But unfortunately the transport ships are the biggest victims of the rusting which is not only destroying the ships, but it is also destroying the goods on board the transport ships. There is no stopping to the rust but it can be repaired after the successful hatch cover maintenance and watertight integrity testing. The testing is the only way to find the location of the holes and the leaks which have been caused due to some displacement of the rubber pads or something else. Hatch covers are the most affected parts of the transport ship because they receive the most damage due to the heavy chains as they come in contact with the metal during the loading and unloading of the goods in the cargo holds.

But the rust when it forms on the ship’s body, it does not get restricted to the hatch covers only. The rust starts spreading all over the ship on every metal piece which is exposed. The paint is the only resistive force which keeps the rust from forming on the metal. As long as the metal is well painted, the rust can be kept away. But after some years of being in work, the transport ships’ paint gets torn off from many different places and the rust starts spreading all over the ship. Even the wiring ducts get filled with water and this is the greatest threat because it can cause the ship to short circuit, catch fire or even blow up in case there are some toxic materials on board. Hence it wouldn’t be wrong to say that the cable transit areas watertight testing is also a must on every transport and even luxury ship.
