Damen unveils mobile ballast water treatment alternative

摘要

Damen Shipyards has unveiled a pioneering mobile ballast water treatment unit that provides ship operators and managers with a cost-effective alternative to retrofitting fixed BWT systems. Developed in-house, the fully containerised Damen InvaSave BWT unit provides what is thought to be the world's first mobile treatment vessel to operate in ports and support ship deballasting operations. The first of these customised Damen barges, fitted with Damen InvaSave units, is now under construction for service in the Dutch ports of Eemshaven and Delfzijl.
