Ship fumigation uses toxic gases or fumigants to eliminate pests and other harmful organisms from a ship’s cargo hold, containers, storage areas, and other enclosed spaces.
Ship fumigation is necessary from one country to another through marine transportation to prevent the spread of pests and diseases. The fumigation process is highly regulated and requires specialized equipment and trained professionals to ensure the safety of the crew and the environment.
The treated areas must be adequately ventilated and monitored to ensure the fumigants have dissipated before the ship can be cleared.
