Sample storage, retention and disposal
Liquid cargo surveyors, terminals and shipowners in the petrochemical and maritime industry continuously take samples from vessels, barges and shore tanks. These samples need a secured and certified storage location for a certain period.
CIMS Netherlands can help you with the safe and quick transport, storage and disposal of all samples of (liquid) cargoes, including hazardous materials.
CIMS Netherlands offers all SSRD services according to legislation and compliance standards.
