Recently, Beldam Crossley has saved a well-known Marine Shipping Company from losing a crude shipping contract in Europe.
A new customer recently joined the Beldam Crossley family of customers for our Hatch Seal Lidpack range. This customer was on the brink of losing a shipping contract for crude on a VLCC (very large crude carrier). This was due to the hatch tank packing having leakage problems. This hatch tank had been manufactured and supplied by another well-known company. The hatches were suffering from loss of pressure, grease from the seals, oozing out of the hatch. It was spilling onto the deck, creating a danger of slippage to the crew and pollution to the environment.

However, Beldam Crossley was asked to step in and put the Lidpack 3801L hatch sealing product; rated for Naphtha and certified by DNV. We tested the product on the same VLCC and see if the problem could be resolved. As suspected, we knew with confidence that our Lidpack range, being the best in the hatch sealing market, would resolve the issue straight away.
Consequently, this was conducted in a timely fashion. We received the thumbs up from the ship captain and are proud to say the seals passed the inspection. Therefore, resulting in ultimately saving the contract and gaining a happy new customer!
