Sample Storage, Retention and Disposal

Sample storage, retention and disposal (SSRD)

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.

Safe transport of your samples

CIMS Netherlands can flexibly step into your process by offering safe collection once your samples are ready for safe and ADR-approved transport to the warehouse.

How the process works

Samples need to be subdivided by classification (mainly 3, 6, 8, and 9) and packed and labeled in (supplied) ADR-approved boxes. If needed, we can provide you with the required boxes, labels and pallets.

Storage at warehouse

At the warehouse, your samples are accessible 24/7. We can store your samples as long as required according to your needs. Furthermore, all regulations and procedures that are applicable to sample storage are covered over here as well.
