Send an order request against our quotation
Opens your email app. Add your vessel, equipment, port and required date, then send.
Name the required outcome
State whether the request concerns commissioning, a vessel-specific monitoring requirement, troubleshooting or follow-up after corrective work. Include any instruction from the reviewing party. These purposes can require different sampling and analytical scopes; asking only for a water-test certificate leaves the essential decision unresolved.
Make the operation bookable
Provide the sample-point arrangement, planned ballast event, port/berth, agent and ETA/ETD. Add relevant tank history and access constraints. The laboratory and sampling team need enough information to plan collection and receipt, while purchasing needs a defined scope to issue the order.
Review the quotation as a complete service
Check sampling, analytical parameters, method, logistics, reporting and delivery timing as separate items. Sea Clean can coordinate attendance and qualified laboratory work and provide a clear route from enquiry to confirmed booking. Send the accepted quotation reference and PO details by email to finalise the agreed scope.
Illustrative procurement scenario
A superintendent needs testing during the next discharge. The first email includes the required test, vessel schedule and sample arrangement, enabling the quotation to include laboratory and transport planning rather than attendance alone.
