Dry Bulk Emergency Response

Dry Bulk Emergency Response

At PPC Philton, our Emergency Response Team is equipped to manage a wide range of dry bulk emergencies, regardless of the cargo type, packaging format, or container involved. Whether the issue occurs during loading, transport, or discharge, you can rely on our team to provide fast, effective support.
We can assist you with situations such as:

• Dry Bulk Repacking: If damage occurs during transport and your packaging is compromised, our team can safely recover the product and carry out professional repacking to prevent further loss.
• Replacement Packaging: As a manufacturer of dry bulk packaging solutions, we can quickly supply new or bespoke packaging to replace yours and secure your cargo to ensure it continues its journey safely.
• Technical Assessment: Our experienced engineers can investigate your incident, assess the condition of the cargo and packaging, and provide a detailed root-cause analysis to help prevent recurrence.
