터키 기반의 운송회사인 Ulusoy는 벌크 캐리어를 포함해 12개의 선박에 대해 트로잔 마리넥스(Trojan Marinex) 선박평형수처리(BWT) 시스템을 선정했다. 이 프로젝트는 트로잔 마리넥스의 터키시장 파트너인 Esko Marine과 공동으로 보증된다.

국제해사기구(IMO) 선박평형수관리협약(BWM)은 비준에 더 가깝게 다가가고 있으며, 그 결과 선박주들은 자신의 선박에 BWT 시스템을 설치하고자 하고 있다.

 

 

 

Turkey-based ship company Ulusoy Denizyollari Isletmeciligi A.S. has selected the Trojan Marinex Ballast Water Treatment (BWT) system to retrofit 12 vessels, including bulk carriers.

 

The project was secured in conjunction with Trojan Marinex Turkish channel partner Esko Marine.

 

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) Ballast Water Management Convention (BWM) is inching closer to ratification, with the United States Coast Guard compliance timeline approaching. As a result, vessel owners are looking to retrofit their vessels are in search of BWT systems.

 

Trojan Marinex BWT system testing was conducted under the supervision of DNV - a certified Independent Lab (IL) by the United States Coast Guard (USCG).

 

Testing was conducted in accordance with United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Ballast Water Protocol.

 

The ETV protocol is a key testing requirement for systems to obtain USCG Type Approval. The system is tested and approved to one of the lowest UV transmittance values in the industry, under full flow conditions, and in all three salinity ranges - fresh water, brackish water, and marine water.

 

The entire product suite has achieved IMO Type Approval and USCG AMS Acceptance. In March 2015, a formal application for USCG Type Approval was submitted - this was the first application in the industry.
