Damen Shiprepair Harbour & Voyage (DSHV), has announced the creation of a 24/7 Covid-19 Disinfection Service for ships.
With this new service, DSHV is extending its scope of work in a way that specifically meets current needs.
DSHV’s MD, Jozeph W.D. Quak, says: “As with a lot of viruses, the coronavirus can be spread more easily on board a ship. People are in close proximity to each other on a vessel and self-isolation can be more difficult in such a limited space. The disease can be spread not only with coughing and sneezing, but also touching areas that have been infected. Therefore, hygiene and disinfection are essential. With this service we are looking to assist our clients through this challenging time.”
The disinfection service is based on WHO approved methods using stabilized hydrogen peroxide. The solution is colourless and odourless and causes no damages on interior or surfaces. All areas aboard the vessel will be disinfected with approved methods and with an approved risk assessments prior operation starts. The service has been successfully been performed for the cruise sector, but can be provided to any type of vessel.
