Beldam Crossley has announced that its Pilot® Lidpack® 3801L hatch seal has received certification from DNV for use in transporting Naphtha, making it the only hatch seal currently recommended for this specific application in crude oil transportation.

The Lidpack® 3801L is engineered for demanding marine environments, offering robust sealing performance for vessels carrying hazardous cargoes such as methanol, benzene, and crude oil. As the global fleet of chemical tankers exceeds 40,000 vessels, the demand for leak-free, chemically resistant sealing solutions has intensified.
