The nature of dry bulk cargoes such as coal, soya and cement often resulted in cargo being ‘stuck’ to the inside hull of the ship and around structures such as ladders and hull ribs.

The standard practice to release this cargo is for Stevedores to dislodge manually. This practice, however, puts workers into highly hazardous environments using slow, manual techniques to dislodge cargo where the excavator bucket cannot reach.

The DB1 Vibrotrim provides a safer and more effective solution that removes the need for vulnerable pedestrian workers in the hold.
