After TMT GreaseMaster.

TMT Services Corp. has success- fully completed soft coating removal with its GreaseMaster cleaner on the forpeak tank of Sea-

Land Service Inc. vessel Discovery.

The work was performed during a regular call at the Port of Long

Beach, facilitating steel work to be done in the ballast tank during upcoming drydocking. This was reportedly the first time a major shipping line utilized

GreaseMaster to perform such a task.

The process eliminates the use of toxic chemicals and/or media blast- ing, as well as ultra hydro blaster pumps.

The process was completed with one 3,000 psi pressure washer, operating at temperature of 130 degrees F.
