OceanSaver s Mark II success
Ciner Shipping Industry & Trading, a part of the Ciner group, has ordered OceanSaver Mark II systems for two Suezmaxes to be constructed at Chinas Bohai Shipbuilding Heavy Industry and four bulk carriers to be built at SPP Shipyard in South Korea.
OceanSaver launched its BWT Mark II system earlier this year in a bid to introduce better performing filtration technology, reduce installation costs and complexities for retrofit and newbuilding projects.
The industry has responded very favourably to Mark II and OceanSavers high-end technology for critical ballast water treatment applications. Ciner Shipping is a new international company looking to sustain its fleet-growth ambitions of 20 – 30 bulkers and tankers with high quality equipment suppliers, said Tor Atle Eiken, OceanSavers senior vice president sales & marketing.
The contract is valued at around $7 mill and represents OceanSavers first bulk carrier BWT system delivery, consisting of the supply and installation of four sets of Mark II ballast systems, each with a treatment capacity up to 2 x 800 cu m per hour.
OceanSaver has now signed major contracts for 38 BWT systems thus claiming to be a key supplier to the global medium to large vessel fleet.
Ciner evaluated different type of technologies and found OceanSaver to be the most compatible from a technical and commercial point of view. We are an environmentally focused shipping company demanding customised design and innovative component technology to optimize BWT efficiency, said Vasileios Papakalodoukas, CEO, Ciner Shipping Industry & Trading.
Additionally, the system is also approved for installations in gas hazardous areas, a prerequisite for our tanker applications, added Papakalodoukas.
