CARGO-SAFE™  The choice of marine surveyors across the globe

The ingress of water through leaking hatch covers is a main cause of damage to cargo. It is in the interest of ship owners, managers and insurers to guarantee the cargo hold is watertight, as damaged cargo caused by water leaking through hatch covers often results in large claims against insurance companies and P&I; clubs. Hatch cover testing is a vital part of cargo ship maintenance.

CARGO-SAFE™ is an ABS Type Approved hatch cover tester. The CARGO-SAFE™ ultrasonic hatch cover weather tightness tester provides a quick and simple method of establishing weather tightness of hatch covers, bow, stern and side doors, but unlike hose testing, UT testing has no negative side effects on the port or harbour environment. Our ultrasonic hatch cover weather tightness tester can be performed in sub-zero temperatures.

The sound is played through headphones or a small internal speaker. If you need to know the side of the hole, we also have the products to display the intensity in decibels. A Decibel is the universal unit for sound measurement. The bigger the measurement of sound, the bigger the air hole you have.

Our CARGO-SAFE™ is the most powerful ultrasonic hatch tester available on the market with a 157 dB transmitter suitable for any size ship.

Class Instrumentation Limited guarantees the CARGO-SAFE™ to be free from defects in both materials and workmanship for a period of three years from the date of dispatch for the receiver and transmitter units. The accessories also have a 6-month warranty. Our consumers have access to free technical support via email or telephone. For the entirety of the product life. It is also durable and stormproof and has environmental protection to IP66.

For smaller-scale investigations, like water-tight and weather-tight doors, we suggest our DOOR-SAFE™.

If you have a smaller budget, and a smaller scale investigation is needed, we recommend our CABIN-SAFE™ system.
