OceanSaver is ripping up the rulebook of the ballast water treatment (BWT) industry to give shipyards and shipowners something that is truly unique for the sector – total certainty in an increasingly uncertain world.

For just 10% of the cost of its market-leading BWT system, OceanSaver has announced that it will configure new ships for the easy installation of a unit at a later date, fitting base components to allow its type-approved system to be simply ‘plugged in’ when required.

Tor Atle Eiken, Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing of OceanSaver; believes the offer is genuinely compelling when set against the current confusion that has seemingly engulfed the entire BWT issue.

“IMO’s BWT mandates are looming large on the horizon,” he explains, “with all tonnage required to comply with the legislation and fit systems by 2016. However, several key territories are yet to ratify these IMO treaties, creating uncertainty – not to mention the potential for major system installation bottlenecks - right across the industry.
