Marine industry is regarded to be the best when used for transportation. Though in recent years, they have increased the standards of the services but unfortunately; it has suffered a lot before than. Primarily, highlighting the basic reasons it has suffered such loss of being sued and losing cargo right on its journey. The most important reasons is lack of ultrasonic safety and measuring equipment on board.
There are various factors, which may be responsible to damage the cargo on its way to destiny. For example, if due to some reason, fire takes place and it is near to cargo, the material of the cargo such as chemical or stuff made of wood may fuel it to gain strength. Hence, resulting into loss and sued by the respective company who own the cargo under process. For such situation, it is always recommended to have fire-suppressing system with ultrasonic liquid level indicator and
fire suppression cylinder fill weight calculator to avoid any loss of firefighting agent due to being unused for a longer time. These systems are not for regular use but to cater in case of emergency. As they are not being utilized for long time, liquefied fire extinguishing agent may start escaping due to unknown reasons, resulting into having not enough supply to blow out fire in case of tough situations. It gets worse when you are right in the mid of your journey. This is suggested to invest for once to avoid loss on bigger scale in future.
Another most important thing to do before leaving for journey especially with cargo is about running a test with
hatch cover tester for hatch cover and compartment door testing to avoid space or leaks to allow any external ingression. This helps to make sure to cater any such happening to get into these hoarding areas. Moreover, if checking leaks is done before leaving, it is easy to make sure that the ship is in better and safer condition to leave for trips. Sea and oceans are unexpected so as ships, it is always recommended to run tests for leak detection after every journey or on every stay. When leaving for and from destination, the best way to be on safer side is about checking the condition and reliability of ship to have strength to cater in situation of tough conditions. If it is already damaged and having leaking here and there, it is impossible to have cruises in case of thunderstorm and tough weathers.
