Cleansing from ventilation and extraction systems shipboard

Maintenance by our Marine Kare specialists

During maintenance, our specialists not only clean the air ducts and groups, but also tackle them thoroughly: each channel is mechanically brushed, all dirt and grease deposits are removed and the channels are disinfected with stabilized hydrogen peroxide to kill bacteria, fungi and viruses. This way, the crew enjoys fresh and healthy air, while significantly reducing fire risks due to grease and dust accumulation.

‍

How do we clean ventilation and laundry extraction channels?

We use rotating brush machines, combined with compressed air, to loosen dirt and dust from the walls. Using a powerful suppression unit, the particles are completely sucked out of the channels. Then we clean the air treatment units, the extraction and pulse grilles and the laundry extraction units.

Filters are replaced and all air groups are cleaned with industrial vacuum cleaners and water/cleaner. The result: a completely clean ventilation system that functions efficiently and safely again.

Why cleaning and disinfecting is necessary on ships

In shipping environments, grease, salt and moisture accumulate rapidly in ventilation and extraction systems. This not only causes poor air quality, but also increases the risk of fire — especially in laundry extraction channels where fluff and grease easily settle.

By disinfecting with stabilized hydrogen peroxide, we guarantee that every corner is treated. This product is odourless, colourless and neutralises unpleasant odours, significantly increasing the comfort on board.

Benefits for crew and ship

Specific attention to laundry extraction

Laundry extraction channels are one of the biggest fire risks on board. Grease and lint deposits can ignite even with a small heat source. A layer of just 2 mm can pose enormous risks. With regular cleaning by Marine Kare, you can prevent these hazards and protect both the crew and the ship.

‍

Our solution for the shipping industry

Marine Kare offers both one-off cleanings and maintenance contracts tailored to shipping needs. Thanks to an adapted maintenance plan, ventilation systems, air groups and laundry extraction channels remain in optimal condition at all times. This increases safety, improves the living environment and prevents unexpected high repair costs.

Transparency and Certification

After each cleaning, you will receive a certificate confirming that the systems have been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. This is not only proof of quality, but also supports compliance with international maritime safety and hygiene standards.
