Cargo Hold Cleaning Update: Weather Impact and Action Plan

Due to inclement weather, particularly heavy rain, we have closed both the hatch cover of the cargo hold and the manhole cover of the fuel oil tank. The workers have assured us that they will promptly provide rainproof covers to prevent rainwater from entering the cargo hold. We will closely monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of these measures. While prioritizing safety, we propose opening the hatches to resume the cleaning operation. However, progress in the cleaning process has been slow. As a result, we have already requested additional manpower from the terminal to assist in the cleaning efforts. The terminal has confirmed that they will dispatch 10 personnel for the cleaning task on the 22nd, in line with the initial plan.
