The problems this ends
A boat waiting on a dock or a crew is a boat not earning, and we don't like our clients losing money.
Short-notice arrivals do not care about anybody's staffing plan. If nobody is on site, the vessel sits until a crew is available.
Every confined space entry into a vessel or tank is exposure on your safety record, and automation is how you stop adding to it.
Wash water hauled off the dock loads cost and additional paperwork onto a turnaround that was already tight.
Curated for this industry
Services for Offshore Operators & Vessel Owners
With 60 to 80 people housed on site, a boat arriving on short notice will not be waiting on a cleaning crew. We clean OSV liquid mud and dry bulk tanks, CCUs, MPTs, cuttings boxes, frac tanks and other rental equipment, process the wash water with electro catalytic advanced oxidation, and hand over the manifests you require.
On the job
Recent work
At Port Fourchon PMI has recycled all the wash water from OSV tank cleaning for more than seven years, which has saved customers over $7 million against hauling and disposal. For an offshore operator we processed the water out of one tank that arrived at 250 ppm hydrogen sulphide and left at 40 ppm. When a Gulf Coast customer's own disposal facility went down, we took its wash water and the customer lost no time. Across the operation we have cleaned more than 15,000 vessels and barges.
Why PMI
What changes when PMI runs the job
Two things decide how a cleaning job actually goes: whether anyone has to go inside, and what happens to the water afterwards. Both are answered before the crew mobilizes.
15,000+
The record is not a startup's
Vessels and barges cleaned, plus 5,700+ platforms and 346 rigs and drillships turned around. New to your site, not new to the work.
Zero entry
Automation the incumbents do not run
RoosterEX cleans tanks up to 120 ft in diameter with personnel outside the shell, proven on heavy paraffin. The entry you do not authorize is the exposure you do not carry.
0 trucks
Water that never leaves your site
EC-AOP treats wash water at the tank and returns it to the wash. No competitor on the Gulf Coast offers this inside a cleaning scope.
Questions we get
Offshore Operators & Vessel Owners FAQs
Can you work 24/7?
Yes. We are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
How many boats can you take at once?
Three docks at Port Fourchon, so more than one vessel can be alongside at the same time.
Can you clean a tank without putting people inside it?
Our people enter the vessel only to mount the cleaning heads. Once the heads are secured they come out, and the tank is cleaned by the robotic heads with nobody inside it.
Can you reclaim the water?
Yes. Our water reclamation unit uses electro catalytic advanced oxidation to clean the water for reuse.
Are your people SafeGulf qualified?
Yes, along with general safety, confined space entry and confined space rescue training.
Can you handle H2S or NORM-contaminated equipment?
Yes. We have qualified personnel for NORM-contaminated equipment, and we have taken tank water from 250 ppm hydrogen sulphide down to 40 ppm.
Will we get all the manifests and documentation?
Yes. We run a document control process, and the paperwork is built to fit your system rather than sit beside it.
What happens if you find something unexpected in a tank?
We stop, price it as a change order and escalate it through an agreed process, so a surprise does not turn into an open-ended delay.
Tell us when the boat is coming in.
Send the vessel, the tank count and the last product in them. Dispatch answers 24/7, which is the number worth having when a boat arrives early.
