Many goods are transported by sea aboard large barges. Some of these barges may transport dangerous materials. No matter what is on board the barge, you need to find a place to get rid of the heel, residual cargo and any other substances that can impede the functionality of your ship. Our docks at K-Solv are fully equipped to handle all your maritime services to ensure you get to your destination on time. We understand your arrival deadlines are important to you and your clients.
K-Solv has a state-of-the-art barge stripping facility, located on the Houston Ship Channel in Channelview, TX. Stripping consists of pumping as much residual cargo as possible from the barge. We ensure a clean, environmentally safe place for barge operators to have heel removed, while minimizing lost transit time between ports.
Certified and qualified personnel are on-site during daylight hours, and on ready-call 24-hours a day. K-Solv is certified to operate by the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. EPA, and the TCEQ. We can handle barges up to 300 feet long, either single or in tandem, and have containment capability to store several thousand gallons of most chemicals and hydrocarbons.
