French company Sea Tankers has selected DESMI Ocean Guard’s CompactClean Ballast Water Management System (BWMS) for installation on their existing[ds_preview] fleet of vessels, and also appointed DESMI to undertake the engineering for the retrofit installations. The first three vessels will be retrofitted with BWMS in 2019, the rest will follow in the subsequent years. All vessels will be retrofitted with a CompactClean-750 system installed in a container on the deck. This solution has been chosen because these tankers have submerged ballast pumps, and hence no pump room where the BWMS can be installed. The CompactClean BWMS for Sea Tankers are EX certified versions approved for the installation in hazardous areas on tankers. DESMI will supply the complete package consisting of BWMS equipment together with an engineering package including manufacturing drawings of piping, pipe supports, foundations etc.
