Avoiding wet damage by hold bilges on board container ship
Water entered into vessel cargo holds may cause wet damage to the cargo inside containers especially stowed on the bottom, unless the bilge water is drained in a proper and swift manner.
Regular sounding of bilge well or monitoring bilge alarm must be one of very important or rather basic routine jobs on board. However this job requires special attention on board.
All bilge alarm need to be tested regularly.
