About Us

GSC Tanker Care was founded to bridge the gap between shipowners and premium cleaning services. While we coordinate the logistics and customer service, ZHOUSHAN GOLDEN OCEAN TANKER CLEANING delivers the operational expertise needed to meet the highest industry standards.

We pride ourselves on:

  • Efficiency: Minimising downtime with prompt and professional service.
  • Compliance: Ensuring adherence to environmental regulations.
  • Sustainability: Managing waste responsibly to protect marine ecosystems.

Our mission is to provide seamless solutions that allow shipowners to focus on their core operations while we handle the rest.

What We Do

1. Tanker Cleaning

We offer professional cleaning services for tanks on ships, including oil tankers. Depending on the size and condition of the tank, our highly skilled team uses methods such as:

  • Manual scraping to remove oil muck.
  • Scaffolding and floating rafts for hard-to-reach areas. This process typically takes three days for manageable amounts of oil muck.

2. De-slopping Before Dry Docking

Preparing ships for dry docking is essential. We safely remove oily water and other liquid waste from tanks, ensuring they are clean and ready for maintenance or repair work.

3. Ship Pollutants Disposal

We specialise in the disposal of pollutants such as:

  • Sludge
  • Oily water
  • Sewage

By partnering with certified waste processing companies, we ensure that all pollutants are handled in a safe, environmentally friendly manner.

4. SPRO Agreements

We work with shipowners to sign Ship Pollution Response Organisation (SPRO) agreements, ensuring their waste disposal needs comply with local regulations.

5. Long-Term Partnerships

Our strong relationships with major shipping and ship management companies allow us to deliver consistent and reliable services to our clients.
