BALLAST ANGELICOUSSIS TO RETROFIT 36 SHIPS WITH ECOCHLOR BWTS Thirty-six Angelicoussis Shipping tankers and bulk carriers are to be retrofitted with the Ecochlor ballast water system, with installations expected to take place over the next two years at yards in Singapore, Dubai, Qatar and China. The USA-based BWTS manufacturer will supply the system for installation to the Greek owner’s Suezmax and Aframax tankers, VLCCs, and Capesize and minicape bulkers. The Angelicoussis Group fleet is comprised of bulk carriers, tankers and LNG vessels. Maran Tankers Management (MTM) manages the tanker unit and in 2001 Anangel Maritime Services Inc (AMSI) was appointed to manage Angelicoussis’ bulk carrier fleet. “We look forward to working with both Maran and Angangel to retrofit their fleet of vessels and continuing to support their efforts in satisfying regulatory compliance. Our BWTS is setting the standard in the ballast water treatment industry for operational performance and reliability,” said Tom Perlich, President of Ecochlor. Ecochlor CEO Steve Candito added: “Having both IMO and USCG Type Approval were very important factors in the selection process by ASGL. Our expertise as well as the system’s ease of use and reliability are critical issues to shipowners as they look for manufacturers that are absolutely committed to making sure their vessels are in compliance with BWT regulations now, and for the life of the vessel.” Over the past two years, the Ecochlor BWTS has been installed on dozens of tankers with ballast RIVERTRACE TO REPRESENT BIO-SEA BWTS IN ASIA water flow rates ranging from 750 to 6,000m3/hr. These installations were on product tankers, Aframax tankers and Suezmax tankers at shipyards in China, Croatia, Romania, Portugal and Turkey. Currently, there are two bulk carrier newbuild installations in process in China and four tanker retrofits scheduled over the next few months. Water monitoring company Rivertrace recently signed an agreement with BIO-UV to represent its BIO-SEA Ballast Water Treatment system in Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam, as from May 2018. BIO-SEA by BIO-UV, based in Lunel, France, has almost 20 years’ experience designing and manufacturing ultraviolet light (UV-C) water treatment equipment. The BIO-SEA Ballast Water Treatment System combines mechanical filtration and high UV dose disinfection, without any chemical treatment, and is made with high quality marine components. BIO-SEA systems are IMO type approved, USCG AMS certified and have been submitted for USCG type approval, with safety at the forefront of its technology, there are no explosive gases, no induced corrosion and they are chemical free systems. Xavier Deval, Business Director of BIO-SEA stated: “We have equipped many vessels, with reliable, innovative, modular and cost-efficient solutions. When selecting representatives for our solutions we are looking for strong and reliable partners to complement our existing installation and service network covering each continent. This includes systems for new building projects and turnkey solutions for retrofits, from onboard study through to onboard installation either at quay, dry-dock or on voyage.” Mike Coomber, Managing Director of Rivertrace said: “We are excited for this fantastic opportunity to work with BIO-SEA. We are likeminded organisations with innovation at our heart. This agreement offers us further opportunities to provide solutions and compliance to new regulations helping to reduce harmful impacts of shipping on the environment." 10
