Ballast orders roll in

摘要

Two leading ballast water treatment system (BWTS) makers are reporting new contracts for their systems ahead of ratification. Stavanger, Norway-based Optimarin has signed a major fleet-wide BWT contract with Saga Shipholding (Norway), the open-hatch carrier subsidiary of Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK). The retrofit contract, exceeding NKrlOOM ($ 16.9M), covers complete BWTSs including engineering and service agreements for 24 open-hatch bulk carriers.
