Marine and Offshore Decontamination

Ships and offshore structures operate in some of the harshest environments, where exposure to sea water, big waves and high winds, can severely compromise onboard systems. Marine decontamination services are essential for restoring vessel integrity and safeguarding critical equipment.

BELFOR provides comprehensive marine cleaning services and offshore cleaning solutions tailored to the demanding needs of vessels, oil rigs, and floating facilities. From engine rooms to the bridge, we handle contamination scenarios caused by fire, water, or prolonged marine exposure. Our certified teams use specialised cleaning methods to restore high-value electrical and mechanical assets, with minimal disruption to operations.

Whether at dock or mid-voyage, BELFOR’s trusted marine and offshore teams are ready to respond—locally in Singapore or globally—ensuring vessels stay seaworthy and operations remain uninterrupted.

What We Clean Onboard Vessels and Offshore Platforms

BELFOR provides targeted marine cleaning services across a wide range of operational zones within ships and offshore platforms. These include:

• Engine Rooms
• Cleaning engines, pumps, and mechanical systems exposed to soot, oil, or salt.
• Diesel Generators
• Restoring power units using safe dry or wet methods.
• Engine Control Rooms and Bridge
• Decontaminating electronic systems and control panels.
• Bow Thruster
• Decontamination of Bow Thruster Controller
• Galleys
• Decontamination of food prep areas and exhaust affected by smoke or other contaminants.

We also restore high-value items such as transformers, variable frequency motor drives, and low/medium voltage switchgear — critical components that require expert care.

Hull, Tank, and Equipment Cleaning Capabilities

BELFOR offers a comprehensive range of marine decontamination solutions designed to tackle the major contamination risks found onboard vessels and offshore platforms. Our decontamination services focus on restoring operational integrity, minimising corrosion, and ensuring compliance with marine safety standards.

Hull Cleaning

Hull cleaning involves the decontamination of the interior hull, following fires and water ingress.

Machinery and Generator Cleaning

We also decontaminate diesel generators, transformers, and mechanical systems using both dry and wet methods, as part of our marine decontamination services.

Offshore Cleaning for Oil Rigs and Platforms

BELFOR provides comprehensive offshore cleaning services for oil rigs, production platforms, and floating marine structures. These environments are highly susceptible to contamination from sea water spray and high winds — posing risks to equipment, safety, and daily operations.

Our experienced mobile response teams are equipped to perform decontamination both on-site and while the platform is on transit. We’ve successfully conducted offshore decontamination projects in Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore — delivering consistent results in challenging offshore conditions.

Services include the decontamination of generator rooms, accommodation spaces, electrical panels, and bridge control. BELFOR’s offshore specialists use industry-approved techniques and equipment to restore sensitive systems and surfaces while maintaining operational safety. From minor contamination to complex cleaning requirements, our offshore cleaning services help reduce unplanned downtime, protect personnel, and ensure compliance with offshore industry regulations.

With BELFOR, offshore operators can expect rapid, professional decontamination — across Singapore and key offshore hubs in the Asia-Pacific region.

Our Marine & Offshore Decontamination Process

Our structured process ensures safe and complete decontamination of marine and offshore assets. Every step is designed to minimise disruption, reduce equipment downtime, and ensure a return to safe operational conditions.

• Site Assessment – We begin with a detailed inspection of affected areas, identifying impacted systems, materials, and operational zones.
• Contamination Analysis – Our team evaluates the type and severity of contamination — whether from sea water, soot, oil residue, or chemical exposure.
• Dry/Wet Cleaning Selection – Based on material sensitivity, we choose between dry selective (single step) or wet selective (multi steps) for precise decontamination.
• Onboard Cleaning – BELFOR’s mobile teams are equipped to work while vessels are docked or en-route, and platforms are on location or en-route, maintaining flexibility without compromising service quality.
• Post-Decontamination Inspection & Reporting – A thorough inspection is conducted to confirm cleanliness, followed by a report documenting restored systems and areas.

This process allows BELFOR to restore sensitive systems safely, maintain regulatory compliance, and help clients resume normal operations quickly and with confidence.
