Japan's Toko Kaiun Kaisha is incorporating a type-approved ballast water treatment system from US-based Severn Trent De Nora for two of its new bulk carriers, Seatrade Asia online reports. The two bulk carriers of 12,000 dwt each, built at Sasaki Shipbuilding in Japan, is installing the Balpure system, type-approved by IMO regulations.
Each Balpure system is capable of treating ballast water flow rates of up to 500 cubic metres per hour. Installation has been completed on one of the vessels which will be delivered to its operator Daiichi Chuo Kisen Kaisha on 7 October.
“The system's slip stream treatment approach, flexible footprint and ability to scale up to meet increased flow rate capacities make Balpure the ideal ballast water treatment solution in the market for new vessels,” said Marwan Nesicolaci, vice president of international sales and business development for Severn Trent De Nora.
