OUR SOLUTION

The thinking behind the technology…

...came from you, the customer. Coldharbour consulted Tanker operators around the world and from these consultations a list of “must have” features for the new system was compiled:

• The system must not disrupt normal ship operations
• The system must be rugged, reliable and suitable for life on board a Tanker
• The system must not require upgrades to on-board power generation capacity
• The system must not require upgrades to ballast pumps or piping
• The system design must allow for gravity ballasting and de-ballasting
• There must be no ballast water filtration requirements
• There must be no specialist maintenance requirements
• The system must be simple to use by crew members with IGG experience
• The system must have a small footprint
• The system must have low running costs
• The BWT IGG system must be available for cargo blanketing duty (if so required)
• The system must be future proof – able to respond to and meet tightening regulations
• The system must be able to deal with the problem of bacterial regrowth in ballast tanks
• The system must offer corrosion reduction in the ballast tanks
• The system must be safe for crew and environment in the event of misuse
• The system must not use chemicals or active substances – G8 approval type is preferred.
• The system must not disrupt normal ship operations (It’s so important, you said it twice!)

The Coldharbour BWT system delivers all this and more in a package designed specifically for use on large Tankers (>30,000dwt), LNG/LPG vessels and IGG equipped Bulkers.
