How to arrange a ship sanitation inspection?
Inspections are carried out at the request of the ship's master or agent.
If you require a ship sanitation inspection at the Port of Workington or Port of Silloth, telephone or email us at least two working days before the inspection is required.
If you also require a potable water sample for bacterial testing, this will be at an additional cost, please notify us at least two working days before the inspection is required.
If you require a legionella water sample this will be at an additional cost, please notify us at least 5 working days before the inspection is required.
