Asian Gypsy Moth Inspections

The Asian Gypsy Moth (AGM) inspection service supports vessels trading internationally by ensuring compliance with biosecurity regulations aimed at preventing the spread of this serious forest pest.

What is the Asian Gypsy Moth?

AGM is an invasive insect species whose egg masses can be laid on ships’ exterior surfaces such as:

Hulls
Deck equipment
Cargo holds
Superstructures

Many countries enforce strict inspection requirements for vessels arriving from AGM risk areas.

Purpose of AGM Inspection

Our inspection service helps vessel operators:
Detect and remove AGM egg masses
Reduce risk of entry refusal or delays at ports
Comply with international plant quarantine regulations

Our AGM Inspection Service Includes

Thorough visual inspection of vessel exterior and accessible areas
Identification of suspicious egg masses
Safe removal or guidance on required actions
Inspection reporting and documentation

These inspections are conducted by trained personnel familiar with quarantine inspection standards.

Gas free certification confirms that a fumigated space or commodity has been properly ventilated and is safe for human entry or handling after fumigation.

What is Gas Free Certification?

After fumigation, residual gases may remain in:

Shipping containers
Cargo holds
Warehouses
Commodities under tarpaulin

Gas testing is required to verify that gas concentrations have reduced to safe levels before access.

Our Gas Free Certification Service

We provide professional clearance procedures including:

Atmospheric gas monitoring using approved detection equipment
Testing of fumigated spaces and cargo areas
Verification that gas levels are within safe limits

Issuance of gas free clearance documentation

Why Gas Free Certification is Important

Protects workers and handlers from exposure
Meets workplace safety regulations
Required before cargo handling or entry into confined spaces
Supports safe continuation of logistics operations

Our Strategies & Methods

Guardians Against Silent Invaders

The Asian Gypsy Moth may be small, but its impact is monumental—threatening forests, ecosystems, and economies worldwide. As vessels traverse the seas, they can unknowingly carry this hidden menace. Our inspections are your vessel’s shield, catching these invaders before they take root.

Thorough Surveillance

We perform detailed visual inspections and deploy pheromone traps in key vessel areas, ensuring no moth or egg goes unnoticed.

Expert Identification

Our trained specialists distinguish Asian Gypsy Moths from other species with precision, allowing swift action when necessary.

Regulatory Compliance

We provide full documentation and certification, helping your vessel meet all international quarantine requirements without delay.

These inspection measures are checks in the ship’s hull, cargo holds, and other likely areas where AGM eggs and larvae might be concealed. If signs of infestation are found, the vessel can be prevented from leaving port until the growth of these insects is eliminated from the ship altogether. This inspection is one important part of preventing the spread of AGM and maintaining the ecological integrity of new regions
