ROSS CHEMICALS: Efficient and Safe Solutions for Your Fleet’s Cleaning and Protection

In the world of maritime shipping, every minute of vessel downtime translates to significant financial losses. A key factor in operational efficiency is the speed and safety of cargo handling. This challenge is particularly acute during cargo changeover: cleaning tanks of petroleum products, chemicals, or vegetable oils, preparing dry bulk holds, combating corrosion in ballast systems, and dealing with the freezing of bulk cargo.

Our company, ROSS CHEMICALS, develops innovative chemical solutions that make these processes fast, cost-effective, and, critically, environmentally safe. We manufacture a complete range of industrial chemicals for the maritime fleet, with a special focus on quality, price, and adaptability to customer needs.

Challenges We Solve for Your Fleet:

  1. Complex and hazardous tank cleaning. Residues of oil, fuel oil, and chemical products require powerful cleaning agents that are often toxic, harmful to the crew, and dangerous for the environment.

  2. The hidden threat: corrosion in ballast tanks and holds. Constant contact with seawater and aggressive media leads to metal wear, costly repairs, and risks to the vessel’s structural integrity.

  3. Downtime due to cargo freezing. Coal, ore, and gravel can solidify into a monolith in low temperatures, causing lengthy delays during port unloading.

  4. The high cost of specialized chemicals. The price of many products on the market makes their regular use economically unjustifiable.

Our Solutions: Efficiency, Safety, and Economy.

1. Specialized Cleaning Agents for Tanks and Holds
We produce a complete line of highly effective cleaners for removing all types of contaminants:

  • Oil residues (fuel oil, crude oil, diesel)

  • Chemical products (molasses, vegetable oils, organic synthesis products)

  • Dry bulk cargo residues (dust fractions, traces of previous cargoes)

Our Advantages:

  • High detergency: Emulsification and complete removal of complex contaminants.

  • Biodegradability and non-toxicity: Safety for the crew, no harmful fumes. Compliance with strict international environmental regulations (IMO, MARPOL).

  • Affordable price: The cost of our products starts from $1 to $4 USD per liter, making their regular application economically viable.

2. Corrosion Inhibitors for Ballast Tanks and Holds
Our inhibitors form a strong protective film on the metal surface that prevents electrochemical corrosion processes.

  • Effective protection against both seawater and freshwater.

  • Do not disrupt the ecological balance when discharging ballast water (within permissible concentrations).

  • Suitable for application both during operation and during docking.

3. Anti-Freezing Agents for Bulk Cargo
Our compositions for treating coal, gravel, ore, and other bulk materials solve the freezing problem fundamentally:

  • Prevent the formation of an ice crust on the cargo surface and between particles.

  • Do not cause corrosion of wagon or hold metal.

  • Do not stain metal or cargo, do not alter their core chemical properties.

  • Non-toxic and safe for personnel and the environment.

4. Deck Anti-Icing Agents
Ensure crew safety and maintain operational readiness in cold climates with our specialized deck anti-icers.

  • Effectively prevent ice formation on decks, walkways, handrails, and superstructures.

  • Low freezing point formula works proactively and aids in ice removal.

  • Non-corrosive and safe for all types of deck coatings, paintwork, and metal surfaces.

  • Environmentally considerate formula with reduced ecological impact compared to traditional salts.

Why Partners Choose ROSS CHEMICALS?
