Each transfer operation has auditable protocols and complete documentary record by the company.
The transfer of Hydrogen peroxide – dangerous substance class 5.1 UN 2014– is one of the most delicate operations in port operations in southern Chile. This compound is used in the aquaculture industry in order to control the Caligus or sea lice, so it is constantly transported to productive centers at sea.
OXXEAN, company specialist in high complexity port operations in southern Chilehas extensive experience in this type of work, which is carried out under strict compliance with the requirements established by the Chilean Navy (DIRECTEMAR) and national regulatory bodies, which position them above the market standard, providing security guarantees to customers, authorities and workers.
One of the fundamental aspects for those who direct these operations in the OXXEAN It's prevention. During all the work, the company maintains the presence of a permanent preventive team, composed of two trained professionals, prepared to act in any contingencies. This equipment has immediate access to operational water lines, which are available at all times.
This reflects the high preventive standard of their operations and the commitment to OXXEAN with safety and regulatory compliance, which is highlighted by companies specialized in the marketing and management of hydrogen peroxide. “We deeply value the joint work with OXXEAN in the safe transfer and handling of hydrogen peroxide. This product, essential for the control of Caligus in salmon farming, requires the highest standards of safety and regulatory compliance,” he says. César Corona, General Manager Aqua Pharma Chile.
According to the executive, “our commitment is to ensure a secure and responsible supply chain, in line with the demands of maritime and regulatory authorities, always prioritizing the protection of people, the environment and animal welfare. We strongly believe that collaboration between specialist companies, such as OXXEAN in the harbour area and Aqua Pharmastrengthens the entire industry and provides long-term confidence and sustainability.
Strict safety protocols
It should be noted that in OXXEANall persons involved in the operation, including the stowage team in charge of the transfer, are hired directly by the company. This allows for greater operational control, complete traceability of responsibilities, and ensures strict compliance with labour, regulatory and safety requirements, strengthening its preventive management model.
"The transfer of hydrogen peroxide is one of the most sensitive and high risk tasks in the harbour. This is why our team is highly qualified and dedicated to operational excellence, where we pioneered this type of aquaculture operations. Each operation is planned and executed with the utmost precision, ensuring that all existing protocols and regulations are complied with in line with the authorities." explains Reinaldo Segovia, Operations Manager at OXXEAN Puerto Montt.
To this is added a constant training of those who participate in each link of the port transfer of hydrogen peroxide. As he underlines Calixto Vega, Operations Manager, OXXEAN Puerto Chacabuco, handling a substance like hydrogen peroxide requires exceptional attention to detail. “The constant training of our staff, together with strict adherence to preventive protocols, allows us to make these transfers safely and efficiently, contributing to the value chain of our customers and to the security of the port community. These operations are carried out with operational excellence, fulfilling high standards of safety, normative compliance and operational control.”
