Cleaning and Disinfecting the Migdale

Cleaning on board begins with a hot pressure wash of all decks, Hatches, pipework, Co2 Strippers, Grader, Counters, cranes and any other equipment that fish has potentially been in contact with. Marine safe soap is then applied and hot pressure washed off on all the equipment listed above. Finally marine safe disinfectant is applied to all areas of the vessel.

The well is cleaned by a semi-automated hi density fog system which run through a cycle of washing, soap applied then washed off and then disinfectant applied. After completion of the automated and manual wash down it is all double checked to ensure no areas have been missed.

All cleaning and disinfection is carried out when we are clear of any fish farms and in open waters.

Cleaning and disinfection checklist is completed for every stage and signed off by the Master or Mate.
