We’re one of a select few approved by the Maritime Port Authority for providing fumigation and vector control services onboard vessels in Singapore.
Pests can be more than just a nuisance onboard vessels. When pests get out of control, they can be harmful to the well-being of your passengers and crew.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also made disinfection or sanitisation of vessels a key priority for ship owners and operators.
Whether your ship is anchored in Singapore, or simply transiting, Greencare’s dedicated vessel pest control team can help you flush out pests and disinfect your vessel.
The COVID 19 pandemic has shown us how essential it is to disinfect ships or vessels regularly for the sake of public health.
From the incidences of coronavirus transmissions on board ships and the associated danger, we understand the problems infections can cause in enclosed spaces.
While it has always been crucial to safeguard the health of passengers and staff of vessels, it is more imperative now.
We have a specialized team for vessel pest control in Singapore, approved by the Maritime Port Authority (MPA). Greencare vessel pest control team will take care of your disinfection and pest control needs onboard your ship.
The inherent nature of ships provides pests an abode to thrive and also get transported from one country where they exist to another where they never existed.
When ships get infested, their enclosed nature supports the spread of pest-related illnesses and diseases.
Rodents can infect an entire ship by contaminating the food or water. Lice also transmit typhus, and mites cause scabies. These are only but a few of such possible infections that take place on a ship.
Owing to the contributions of mosquitoes, cockroaches, and rodents to the spread of international diseases, the Port Health Office often requests ship sanitation certificates.
The International Health Regulations (2005) and the Prevention and Control of Disease Ordinance have guidelines by which ships are certified free from diseases.
Every ship that goes on an international voyage needs to renew its sanitation certificates at six months’ interval. However, you can only qualify for this certificate if there are no pests on your ships.
If there are pests, you need to work with a pest control company like Greencare to rid your vessel of these pests before they spread.
Pests find their way into vessels through several means, and when they get in, they make their home in enclosed areas. Such areas include ducts, inaccessible ceilings, voids, and vaults.
Cockroaches transmit diseases to your food from their droppings and body. These diseases include typhoid, dysentery, food poison, or gastroenteritis.
Roaches are resilient and breed swiftly. Hence, it is crucial to control roaches on vessels to prevent their unchecked and dangerous spread.
The use of insecticide and trappings are just some of the ways we do cockroach pest control. Removing their food sources and destroying their habitat might be necessary in case of infestation.
Mosquitoes transmit dengue fever, malaria, yellow fever, etc. from bites. They can spread these diseases to people on a ship and enter into communities when the ship reaches land. Similarly, with cockroaches, insecticides and trappings are measures to control mosquitoes.
Rodents like mice and rats spread diseases through bites, handling, urine, or scratches. Ticks, mites, or fleas that have come in contact with these rodents will also spread over 35 diseases gotten from these pests. Some rodents spread leptospirosis and hantavirus through their urine.
In cases of infestation, trapping the rodents, fumigating the ship, or using poisoning are some of the rodent control measures.
Myxomatosis, plagues, and tularaemia are some diseases that fleas transmit on ships and vessels. Flea control measures are necessary if an infestation is found.
Ships can serve as a means of transporting disease and its agents on a national and international level, from one port to the next. To prevent such transmission and protect passengers, crew members, and communities, we must take proactive measures.
One of such measures is to ensure that the vessel crew undergoes training on ship sanitation. They should also have all materials and equipment needed to maintain a sanitary environment aboard the ship.
Every food, water, and other materials going aboard the vessel must be certified safe. Also, identification and swift handling of issues that pose a risk to public health must be top-notch.
Even in the construction of ships and vessels, the focus should be on creating and maintaining sanitation aboard.
Greencare provides disinfection and sanitisation services for vessels, to keep everyone safe from germs.
