Humidity control and drying for ship cargo holds

Moisture control physically removes excess water vapour from the atmosphere, protecting your cargo from high humidity levels at sea.

Extremely damp atmospheres can become a problem for practically any kind of cargo. However, hygroscopic materials, such as paper products, electronic equipment, metal parts and food, benefit most from dry air technology during transit, as it minimises the risk of them absorbing moisture.

As our dehumidifiers run, they dry cargo holds and stop condensation forming. These drier conditions make it virtually impossible for mould and mildew to thrive inside your ships’ holds, leading to a safer, healthier environment for both your cargo and your professionals.

Yes. Dryers and dehumidifiers can drastically reduce the risk of ship corrosion during at-sea transport by capturing excess moisture from inside your cargo holds. This means moisture cannot condense on metal surfaces, stopping rust and long-term corrosion.

To keep up with the huge volumes of moisture your vessels will encounter inside, we recommend using desiccant dehumidifiers or industrial dryers in your ships’ holds.

As a trusted manufacturer and supplier of these types of units, talk to our experts for bespoke guidance on acquiring the ideal dry air solutions.

Our dehumidifiers are engineered to operate effectively across a wide range of conditions and are thoroughly tested in the field. They automatically adjust their performance based on fluctuations in humidity and temperature in the surrounding atmosphere.

This gives you confidence that your solutions will maintain balanced humidity levels inside your ships’ cargo holds, even as your vessels move through different climates.

This depends on how often your dehumidifiers are used, the amount of water vapour your systems handle, and the climates you operate in. As such, we recommend following the maintenance recommendations included in your units’ instruction manuals.
