QUICK ANSWER: MAIN ITEMS WHEN PREPARING CARGO HOLDS
Hold preparation starts the moment discharge is complete — not when the loading port appears on the horizon. Get these right and the surveyor will have nothing to say.

• Decide what charter party requires: sweep, wash, or grain-clean standard
Cleaning sequence:
• Sweep the hold before washing to remove bulky residues
• Wash top-down — deckhead first, tanktop and bilge flush last
• Maintain good water pressure throughout and keep

Traditionally, one of the most effective means for the wider transmission of new ideas and knowledge in higher education has been through scholarly publication. This is the principal mechanism whereby universities assemble, store and disseminate the findings of their research. Scholarly publications are also an important mechanism in terms of fulfilling WMU's global responsibilities under our Charter to provide an international focus for networking and collaboration.
WMU Publications has been established as the route for publishing of scholarly books on maritime affairs written by WMU staff and external maritime experts linked to the University.
