Cleaning of Port Terminals

Ambipar operates by providing cleaning services for port terminals, whether public or private, as well as its most important equipment, such as ship loaders and unloaders, belts, among others.

Port terminal is a space intended for the handling of cargo in port, air, road and rail transport. It is possible to find specific equipment for handling cargo, such as: liquid or solid bulk, general cargo or even containers.

Because they receive goods from all states, it is essential to constantly clean port terminals efficiently. This is because thousands of tons of waste can be collected annually in this type of area and only a specialized Onshore cleaning company like Ambipar can carry out a correct and fully effective cleaning.

How does Port Terminal Cleaning work?

In cleaning port terminals, we use all kinds of products, such as fertilizers, sugar, salt, sulfur, oil, among others. We carry out both dry cleaning and high pressure water cleaning, ensuring the removal of all dirt or residues in the port facility.

The equipment chosen for cleaning port terminals varies according to the length of the structure. Remembering that the collected waste is transported in an ecologically correct way and the destination of all material is done according to the indicative classification (organic, recyclable, non-recyclable or contaminated),
in a disposal process rich in protective details.

We have a complete structure of equipment for cleaning port terminals, including: Hydrojet machine, suction pump, compressor, pneumatic winch, hoses of different diameters and for different purposes, in addition to specific materials for entrances and rescues in confined spaces.

Our team is made up of qualified and fully trained professionals to clean equipment in refineries, involving everything from: rescuers, supervisors, climbers and cleaning assistants in general, whose objective is to clean decantation basins with complete efficiency and safety.

Ambipar is trained and experienced in port terminal cleaning operations. For this, we have a work structure that is expert in the logistics necessary for the demands arising from this type of onshore cleaning with quality, efficiency and agility.

In addition, Ambipar complies with all technical standards required by the Ministry of Labor, complying with regulatory standards and ensuring environmental responsibility for waste found in cleaning port terminals.

The importance of carrying out the Cleaning of Port Terminals

The port activity produces environmental impacts and, therefore, must be provided with instruments to combat them and the cleaning of port terminals is one of them. This is because one of the biggest environmental impacts arising from port operations carried out improperly is the incorrect disposal of cargo residue that is lost in the operation.

Thus, the port operation must surround itself with good environmental practices, establishing procedures that minimize or eliminate the resulting impacts, carrying out the cleaning of the port terminal periodically.
