Inspection services:
All bulk handling at loading - transhipment - discharge operations requires to maintain quality within
commercial product standards.
Influence of previous cargoes and its effect as additional contamination to next cargo is our main target.
We - Inpechem Inspectors - already gives advises / recommendations, prior ever a ship is chartered, especially to fine
alcohols as methanol - ethylalcohol - propanol - Mono Ethylene Glycol fibre grade - Mono Propylene USP grade.
Our advises are widely used as instructions to Captains and /or Chief Officers.

Our services are there to accept tanks and lines.
We only reject tank(s) and lines for a definite reason to protect product quality.
Any rejection can be full style explained and verified / witnessed by Chief Officer and / or
Loading Master at terminal.


Wall wash inspection:
We have all procedures in writing as an aim for uniform instructions to our surveyors' staff:

  1. for testing to be performed at site
  2. for testing to be performed at our laboratory

Example: A cargo with previous cargo of vegetable oils for loading
fine chemicals as methanol - beverage alcohol - isopropanol -
acetone - MEG fg - MPG USP…

  1. wall wash with methylethylketone (good solvent)
  2. no wall wash with methanol (none solvent)
  3. at ship visual inspection of wall wash, witnessed by C/O
  4. at ship modified watermiscibility method according in house method
    witnessed by C/O
  5. at our laboratory testing for Non Volatile Matter

Example: A cargo with previous cargo of inhibited chemicals for loading
fine chemicals as alcohols, ketones and glycols.
Inhibitors as p-BTC, HQ and MEHQ are killers to Permanganate
Time Testing - PTT.
The absence of inhibitors can be proven by comparing the methanol
prior wall wash (blanc) with the wall wash after inspection.

On-time performance in order to not delay ships-operation:
As an example to loading, every job is on-time done by acting in advance on-time.

  1. shore tank sampling and analysis prior loading
  2. ships' cargotank inspection at earliest opportunity in port
  3. line fill from shore tank to jetty, followed by sampling and testing whilst vessel
    is on her way to arrive at terminal.
  4. the loading operation as such.

We avoid any demurrage by close coordination with ships agent and with terminal
planning and Loading Master.

An other example can be board to board transhipment from barge to ocean vessel:

  1. barge sampling and analysis at earliest opportunity arriving in port by being in
    contact with barge operator and later with direct telephone access to Barge
    Captain.
  2. on-time inspection of shipstank(s) at earliest opportunity in port
  3. physical transhipment

Certificates, issued by Inpechem

  1. Weight Certificate as instruction to ships agent for correct Bill of Lading
    according our principals instructions
  2. Inhibitor Certificate prior loading for cargoes as acetic acid - formic acid -
    styrene - alpha methyl styrene
    all acrylates - acrylonitrile - acetonitrile.
  3. Heating instructions if related to specific cargoes as n-Paraffins C14-C17
    HITEC fuel additives - Nonylphenols - Phenol - Acetic Acid
  4. Nitrogen blanketing after loading.

Supply & adding to chemical cargoes:

  1. upgrading inhibitor level
  2. perfume - blue dye - Bitrex and other denaturants to screenwash
  3. customs marker to Iso-Paraffins
  4. stabilisers to chlorinated solvents

Laboratory services
All test are performed according the latest ASTM methods - IP - DIN - ISO
on a 24 hours services.

We work on regular basis appointed by insurance experts on cargo claims.
An alert advisory: sampling - analytical testing and analytical research -
has been very beneficial to off specification cargo solution to reduce extra costs.
