Closed Sampling of Liquid Cargoes
Marine Cargo Experts Ltd is aware that contaminated and non-representative samples can cause lengthy delays for Oil Majors and Traders - both after loading and prior to discharging.
MCE has the experience of using specialised closed sampling equipment which can eradicate the time lost due to the necessity of re-sampling or re-analysing owing to erroneous contamination claims on sensitive and light cargoes. The system ensures that samples are not contaminated with particulates from the vessels vapour locks.
Unlike many vessels’ sampling equipment used for obtaining cargo tank samples; the equipment we employ draws representative running, spot or dead bottom samples on oil tankers via their vapour lock system.
In today’s work place, with advancing safety and environmental considerations, our system eradicates the need for “open sampling” and enables accurate representative samples to be drawn.
The closed sampler ensures that no gases are expelled from a vessel tanks during sampling, essential when dealing with high H2S cargoes.
We are active members of the Energy Institute and we are quality assured to ISO 9001.
