We shall prepare a policy and plan implementation
for:
KGJS has a total fleet 50 which is partly relatively new and
“mature” from abt 2000 – 160 000 tdw engaged in local as
well as world-wide trade
KGJS has a different ship types; OBOs, pneumatic cement
carriers, crude and product oil tankers
We have as per today a new building programme
with 4 deliveries from 2011 - 2012;
What to do on coming projects?

1. Pilot project on 2 sailing vessels where we will
test different makers and type of system
2. Installation on any new ships ordered from
2010 and onwards prior to delivery from
Builder.
3. On previously ordered vessels, make
preparations as far as possible
4. Executed assessment of sailing fleet and
defined an implementation plan

Evaluate systems and prepare for 2 pilot
installations early 2011 prior to implementation of
ballast water treatment systems for the KGJS
managed fleet
The pilot project aims to:
Obtain experience for retrofit suitability and challenges
Obtain operational experiences with respect to
maintenance, reliability, follow up from makers
Obtain BWT capacity experience
Check quality on treated water

Treatment only on inlet – we may reduce capacity – lower
cost
Reputable well established supplier with world-wide
network
Acceptable footprint
Installation on suction side may be complicated for retrofit
due to space restraints and will result in some uncertainty
with respect to pressure loss on ballast pump
Have ordered system for 1 nb + done preparations on 2
vessels under construction in Vietnam
Gearbulk whom we cooperate with are also testing this
system

Small vessel – limited crew resources –
frequent port calls – hopefully simple operation
Limited space requirement
No active substance in UV system
Hopefully simple in operation
Reasonably easy to install and we have
sufficient power available.

Construct fleet database according to:
A list of vessels in 3 categories ; GREEN, YELLOW
and RED where:
GREEN are vessels recommended for system retrofit
YELLOW vessels recommended to be kept pending
due to age
RED is vessel not recommend for retrofit
of BWTS mainly due to age/potential re-cycling

Consider each vessels electric balance and bw pumping
system
Space allocation on deck/engine room – not only foot
print but where do we have space to fit a complete
system
Dry docking schedule and intervals
Possible installation windows
Preparing and propose an installation plan
and present it for the respective owners
Propose implementation date

Mapped available systems and technology descriptions
Mapped selection criteria and define selection criteria
considering DNV’s questions
Checked and defined operational requirements like
ballasting/de-ballasting time together with respective
operation departments
Consider and define selection criteria for the different
fleets
Request offers for pilot vessels and made nominations
Evaluate cost system and installation cost
Consider mobile solutions for older ships in the fleet
Monitor new and emerging technology

Propose to prepare all vessels at first drydocking
(from 2011) in order to obtain
flexibility in timing for installation
Install pipe lines, isolating valve(s),
electric power breaker in main switch
board o.a. in order to enable installation
during sea voyage
Installation of ballast water treatment
plant can then be planned between 2014
– 2017 for the applicable vessels in the
fleet
We suggest to wait with yellow vessel
unless it is considered beneficial out from
a commercial point of view
Frame-work agreement with respective
selected suppliers

Committing now for longer nb series with relative
unproven technology – should we do that ?
Is the convention applicable when the vessels are ready
for delivery?
Technology and market price development
Development on port state and international regulations
If preparing we must nominate one system – will this
remain unchanged when in it in case is needed?
If correctly prepared , will installation
cost and operation become
more favourable?

Charter Parties should be considered
with respect to performance guarantees
related to BWT systems
Operation pattern – number of annual cargo
cycles – ballast capacity
and bwt system capacity
Trading area and possible
“mud” ports

We expect to obtain operational experience
through pilot project in order to evaluate the
benefits and disadvantages of the test systems
after a period of abt.12 months and then select
2 – 3 manufacturer who suitable for the
respective fleet between 2014 – 2017
KGJS should allocate personnel to monitor
product development, system improvements
and test vessels during the implementation
period. New technology and application
methods will come – we should rush slowly

It is easier and results in lower cost to fit BWTS on
a nb than to carry out an «unprepared» retrofit
during the sailing phase
Competition between makers is tough and systems
may yet be considered as prototypes.
Recommend owners/managers to work
systematically with this, make their own opinion,
and be critical towards information received from
suppliers as marketing in many cases is in form of
dirt packages about competitors
