This entire supplement is an advertisement from the NMA Port of Horten Efficient and straightforward in the centre of the Oslo Fjord Norway’s largest ferry company Best for environment-friendly and reliable transport www.fjord1.no Tusen takk for tilliten! Den 25. februar 2012 tegnet vi det første ENC abonnement med vår første kunde, Havila Clipper. I løpet av de påfølgende 3 år har mer enn 50% av norske fartøyer blitt abonnenter på NAVTOR ENC Service. Vi tar dette som en bekreftelse på at vårt «Pay As You Sail» konsept ble slik vi planla; lett å bruke, lett å oppdatere og enkelt å administrere. Tilbakemeldingene fra brukerne har også gitt oss mange gode innspill slik at vi kan videreutvikle vår e-navigation service for å gjøre navigatørens arbeid lettere, gjøre seilasen sikrere og sist men ikke minst bidra til at sjøfarten blir mer effektiv for redere og operatører. Samtlige av oss NAVTOR ansatte takker for tilliten og ønsker dere alle en vellykket seilas videre. 26 Annonse NorShipping.indd 1 20.05.2015 09:31:49
This entire supplement is an advertisement from the NMA Groundbreaking technology without chemicals New technology from Enwa contributes to reducing chemical use on board and a better environment. Norwegian company Enwa can now finally present a “self-cleaning” evaporator – water production entirely without the use of chemicals – in Norway. This product has been developed by Danish maritime specialists, with attention concentrated on chemical-free water output, small footprint and minimum need for space in connection with maintenance and service. “Chemicals have traditionally been used, and crew have had to wear both gloves and eye protection when handling these,” explains Peter Eriksson, Business Development Director at Enwa Water Technology AB. “That’s no longer necessary. The Enwa Fresh Water Generator (FWG) with Scale- Guard technology eliminates the need to inject anti-scaling products and substantially reduces maintenance requirements. We can now offer our customers produced water at a lower cost than conventional FWGs.” He emphasises that the company is very pleased to be able to present the latest addition to its product portfolio, which is better for the environment, cuts work for the crew and reduces time and cost. “Three methods are available for securing fresh water on a vessel – bunkering from shore, a freshwater generator on board or a water-maker using a reverse osmosis (RO) process,” Eriksson explains. “We have long experience of designing and building RO solutions at our Swedish factory.” Enwa’s patented EnwaMatic® technology, developed in-house, is winning ever more admirers, and almost 5 000 installations can be found on ships and offshore installations and in buildings. Put simply, this involves filtering the water and treating it with processed minerals. Particles are removed and water properties balanced to make it non-corrosive and avoid deposition and bacteria. Appropriate and chemical-free water treatment gives better energy transfer, lower power consumption and reduced maintenance costs. New ballast water treatment The shipping sector carries more than 80 per cent of the world’s raw materials and annually transfers almost three-five billion tonnes of ballast water internationally. Such water is essential for safe and efficient operation of modern ships, providing balance and stability in unladen condition. However, it can present serious threats to ecology, economics and health. “Thousands of marine species are carried in ballast water, spreading lifeforms to areas where they are non-native,” says Eriksson. “Both Japanese oysters and king crabs are examples.” These invasions of new organisms can threaten local ecosystems and are one of the four biggest threats facing the world’s oceans. “An international convention on ballast water treatment is expected to come into force within a year, but a number of shipping companies have already adopted systems to meet the coming requirements,” Eriksson notes. “We are the agent and distributor for the OceanGuard Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS), which utilises free radicals to kill all life in the water. It’s so efficient and effective that treatment is only needed when ballasting.” This unique technology is supplemented by the system’s low power consumption and small space requirements. So confident is the manufacturer in its own solution that it guarantees the system will meet US Coast Guard requirements even before all tests have been completed. Enwa is a turnkey supplier of systems and products for water treatment on land and at sea. Demand for more and cleaner water is growing. “We’re working continuously to meet this requirement and ensure that our solutions create real value for our clients,” reports Eriksson, before noting that more information is available on the website at www.enwa.com. THE ENWA GROUP comprises a number of companies with water as their core business. Water Technology is one of three divisions, serving the offshore and marine markets as well as land-based industry and property. THROUGH CONTINUOUS development and by concentrating attention on value creation at customers, Enwa is constantly enhancing its services and has moved in recent years from being a product supplier to become a provider of system and service solutions. 27
