摘要

Hyundai Heavy Industries has ordered OceanSaver ballast water management systems for three VLCCs being built for Oman Shipping Company.rnOceanSaver says that this contract is the first of its kind and signifies a breakthrough for IMO's Ballast Water Management convention as well as for the company. "This is a milestone to be noticed," said OceanSaver CEO Stein Foss. "It is a milestone for the Convention as the industry confirms the availability of suitable BWMS also in the large and complex ships segments and further, that the timeline for the introduction of the new ballast water management regime is indeed fixed and must be taken seriously."
