Bacviet Shiprepair provides professional Ultrasonic Leaking test the Hatch Cover vessels at major ports and anchorages in Vietnam 

In the global shipping industry, cargo safety is a top priority. One of the most critical factors ensuring cargo integrity is the watertightness of ship hatch covers. Any leakage can lead to costly cargo damage, insurance disputes, and loss of reputation. This is why Ultrasonic Hatch Cover Testing has become the industry standard for verifying hatch cover tightness before loading valuable cargo.

At Bacviet Shiprepair Company in Vietnam, we provide professional Ultrasonic Hatch Cover Testing for vessels at all major ports and anchorage areas. With years of experience, advanced equipment, and a team of trained specialists, we ensure that your vessel meets international safety standards and passes cargo inspections smoothly.

Why Ultrasonic Hatch Cover Testing is Essential

The purpose of Ultrasonic Hatch Cover Testing is to determine whether the cargo hold is truly weathertight and cargo-tight. Even the smallest gap or failure in rubber packing can allow seawater ingress, leading to cargo loss or damage. Traditional testing methods such as the “hose test” or “chalk test” are less accurate and may even damage sealing surfaces.

Ultrasonic testing, however, is non-invasive, precise, and efficient. By generating ultrasonic sound waves inside the cargo hold and measuring them with sensors placed along the hatch covers, this method can detect even the tiniest leak paths. The result is a clear, reliable, and internationally accepted verification of hatch cover integrity.

  • Quick execution without disrupting cargo operations.

  • Essential for vessels transporting sensitive or high-value cargo.
