Who we serve

Built for Barge Fleets and Marine Cleaning Crews

A vessel can't load its next cargo until it's clean. Evans supplies the portable cleaning equipment, ventilation, and pumps to get a barge or hold cleaned on a tight window, with reliable response time for when the boat actually arrives.

The problem

The barge earns nothing until the hold is clean.

Failing to meet the timeline means demurrage starts running.

A vessel can't take its next cargo until the last one is cleaned out to standard. Every hour it waits is an hour of demurrage and a slot lost on the schedule.

The river or tide sets the schedule.

Boats can come in at night, over a weekend, or often with only hours of notice.

Dealing with the air inside and the water outside complicates the job.

Hold entry brings vapor and confined-space hazards, and whatever you wash out can't end up in the waterway.

How Evans solves it

Evans shortens the cleaning window so the barge loads sooner.

Shorten the cleaning window to the length of the job.

Hot-water pressure washers and the heated bean pump cut last-cargo buildup, and AOD pumps clear the hold quickly. Skid and trailer units move to the dock or shipyard and run on arrival.

We mobilize on the vessel's clock, nights and weekends included.

A midnight arrival gets the same response as a Tuesday morning. Evans has staged and delivered for vessels arriving on as little as four hours' notice.

Safe to enter and sealed from the water gets the job done faster.

Coppus blowers and 24-inch jet fans ventilate the hold up to 16,000 CFM for safe entry, while AOD pumps and the wash pad keep wash water contained.
