Hold-Protection-Sheet System
This system facilitates hold cleaning after the unloading of cement cargo by dramatically reducing time and cost. It can be installed inside the hold before loading the cement cargo to prevent damage to the surface of the hold. Though a large system that involves laying the sheets throughout the inside of a hold, the sheets are easily installed and removed. After a January 2006 news release first reported on this system, there have been many inquiries from the cement and other bulk-cargo industries, where the product is receiving favorable reviews.
