Fumigation

Container Fumigation: Ocean containers are widely used for transporting goods globally. These containers are sealed, making them ideal for fumigation. Fumigants such as methyl bromide or phosphine can be applied to eliminate pests that may be present in the cargo. The sealed nature of containers ensures that the fumigant reaches all parts of the cargo, effectively eradicating pests. Accurate dosages are critical to ensure the fumigation is effective without causing harm to the cargo itself. Modern fumigation techniques and equipment are employed to achieve high-quality results.

Vessel Fumigation: Larger vessels carrying bulk agricultural commodities like rice, wheat, and maize also require fumigation. Methyl bromide or aluminium phosphide are commonly used fumigants for vessel fumigation. Specialized equipment and techniques are employed to fumigate the entire vessel effectively. This includes hot gas fumigation with gas circulation systems to ensure thorough treatment. Vessel fumigation can be carried out either at ports or in outer anchorage, depending on operational requirements.

Air Cargo Fumigation: Air cargo, due to its speed and global reach, also requires stringent fumigation procedures. Fumigation is necessary to comply with quarantine regulations, especially concerning wooden packing materials and agricultural products. The process needs to be quick and efficient to meet flight schedules. After fumigation, proper aeration is essential to ensure that the cargo is safe for transport by air. Monitoring of fumigant levels is critical to ensure compliance with safety regulations and to prevent any adverse effects during air transport.
