Turkish owner picks Alfa Laval ballast water systems
The Advantage Summer is one of the vessels to have the PureBallast 3 treatment system
Altogether, Alfa Laval will supply 33 PureBallast systems including skid-mounted PureBallast 3 Compact and PureBallast 3 Ex systems with capacities of up to 3,000m3 per hour.
The equipment, which will be delivered between March 2019 and March 2021, will include deckhouses for five PureBallast 3 Ex systems to be installed on product tankers. Alfa Laval will also provide a PureBallast Compliance Service Package, including testing, calibration, system optimisation and crew guidance, in the first year after commissioning.
Aydin Aydin, the tanker owner’s energy manager, commented: "After an in-depth evaluation of the solutions on the market, we concluded that Alfa Laval and PureBallast 3 are the ideal solution for our fleet. PureBallast 3 offers reliable compliance with an excellent fit for the very large flows aboard our Aframax, Suezmax and product tankers."
Aydin stressed the importance of the Compliance Service Pakage which, he said, was an important part of the fleet agreement. "The services it contains will ensure that our systems remain up and running according to their type approvals," he commented.
