Chemical & Water
While ship chartering doesn’t directly manage onboard chemicals or water systems, brokers involved in tanker or liquid cargo contracts must verify vessel readiness for handling such materials. SEA TRANSPORT TECH provides monitoring technologies that verify tank cleaning, detect residue levels, and ensure that vessels comply with chemical safety regulations before a charter agreement is signed.
Sub-technologies:
- Tank residue and cleaning validation sensors
- Water ballast treatment system monitors
- Leak detection systems for liquid cargo vessels
- Hazardous cargo documentation tools
- Fluid transfer readiness tracking systems
- Vessel audit tools for chemical handling capabilities
Structural
Verifying a vessel’s structural integrity is essential for risk mitigation during charter negotiations. SEA TRANSPORT TECH delivers tools that allow brokers and shipping clients to assess hull condition, cargo hold fitness, and recent repair data. These insights can be integrated into pre-chartering due diligence, helping reduce liability and support transparent vessel selection.
Sub-technologies:
- Digital hull and deck inspection reports
- Structural wear and corrosion sensors
- Ultrasonic thickness gauges
- Digital ship history and maintenance logs
- Non-destructive testing (NDT) data integration
- Real-time vessel condition dashboards
Electrical
Chartering high-tech vessels often requires assurance of reliable electrical systems, especially for reefer cargo, sensitive electronics, or dual-fuel ships. SEA TRANSPORT TECH supports this need with diagnostics and remote monitoring tools that confirm vessel power readiness, system uptime, and electrical compliance—all critical to ensuring smooth charter performance and minimal dispute risk.
