Transportation for:

Grain

Not all vessels can load grains. The bulk Carrier must have her grain certification. Alfa Maritima International & Shipowners request grain clean holds free of rust, past cargo, odor, water, sal, free of infestation, and contaminations.

For a ship to be grain clean, it must follow the different international high standards. In the USA, the USDA, and Europe, she will pass or fail the vessel cargo holds before Loading. Alfa Maritima assures the compliance of different Codes of Safe Practice for each type of grain.
