When a Chief Engineer or ship manager searches online for a sludge disposal company in Vietnam, the vessel is usually already close to port — and time matters. Bac Viet Shiprepair Company provides fast, certified sludge disposal, garbage disposal, and marine waste disposal services for foreign vessels at every major port and anchorage in Vietnam, from Hai Phong in the north to Cai Mep in the south, backed by licensed waste treatment partners and MARPOL-compliant certification.

This page is designed to help ship owners, operators, and superintendents quickly find the right sludge and waste disposal contact for wherever their vessel is calling in Vietnam.

Why Ship Owners Search for a Local Sludge Disposal Provider

Before a vessel arrives at a Vietnamese port or anchorage, agents and superintendents commonly look for answers to:

• Can sludge disposal be arranged at Hai Phong / Cai Mep / Vung Tau / Da Nang port or anchorage?
• Is a barge or a tanker truck used for sludge collection at this port?
• Which company can issue a proper disposal certificate for MARPOL and Port State Control?
• Can the service be arranged urgently, with short notice before the vessel's ETA?

Bac Viet Shiprepair answers all of these directly: nationwide coverage, licensed disposal partners, 24/7 attendance, and official disposal certification for every operation.

Sludge Disposal Method: Barge or Tanker Truck

The disposal method is selected based on the confirmed sludge quantity:

• Above 100 m³ → collection by barge, positioned alongside or near the vessel for large-volume discharge.
• Below 100 m³ → collection by road tanker truck, mobilized directly to the berth or terminal apron for fast, low-disruption pump-out.

This rule applies consistently at every port we cover, allowing us to quote and mobilize the right equipment as soon as the vessel confirms its sludge volume.

Our Sludge & Waste Disposal Process

1. Vessel waste assessment – confirm sludge type, volume, and tank access before mobilization.

2. Method selection – barge above 100 m³, tanker truck below 100 m³.

3. Permit and port coordination – port authority, immigration, customs and terminal approvals arranged on the vessel's behalf.

4. Hose connection and pump-out – safe transfer of sludge from vessel tanks using dedicated equipment and trained crew.

5. Transportation to a licensed treatment facility – waste is delivered to an approved industrial/hazardous waste treatment plant.

6. Disposal certification – an official waste collection certificate is issued for the vessel's MARPOL record book and Port State Control file.
