Answering The SOS Call

When we receive your "SOS call,", an experienced project manager will set off immediately in order to be on board your ship as soon as possible. They analyze and prioritize the damage and, following consultation, will immediately implement the necessary emergency measures to minimize or avoid interruptions to operation and subsequent damage.

At the same time, they will generally take on coordination of and communication with all those involved in the damage – from the ship’s crew to the insurance company.

We offer a broad range of services including:

Neutralization and Decontamination

Combustion of plastics can generate hydrogen chloride (HCl), which in combination with extinguishing water and particularly salt water, condenses and leaves visible corrosion on metal surfaces within a few hours. BELFOR will neutralize conditions, recommend decontamination, and begin the professional removal of soot, corrosion and toxic hazardous materials.

Even technical equipment, spare parts and tools that appear to have survived the fire or water damage on board without problems may have been affected by corrosive or toxic substances, and the speed of corrosion is increased by salty sea air. The quickest and most effective methods to clean and fully de-rust them are mobile ultrasound cleaning tanks.

Electronics - Switch On Fast Again!

Control cabinets and electronic systems, such as controls in the engine room and on the bridge, are among the most sensitive and sometimes also the most expensive items on board. That is why BELFOR uses particularly gentle decontamination processes for the restoration of electronic components.
