Astican commemorates a decade since the first installation of ballast water treatment systems on ships and platforms undergoing repairs. As a specialized shipyard in this field, we take pride in offering extensive experience, ensuring precise planning, efficient resource management, and shorter delivery times. Our strong engineering capabilities include 3D scanning, modelling, production design, prefabrication, and electrical work.

 

Our team of engineers is experts in participating in any phase of the ballast system installation project, working closely with shipowners to ensure optimal efficiency in installation.

 

As you know, managing ballast water is crucial in the maritime sector to prevent biological contamination caused by organisms transported in a vessel’s ballast water, which can have devastating consequences for the marine ecosystem. Governed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) under the Ballast Water Management Convention, ship ballast systems, commonly known as BWTS, are indispensable for environmental preservation.

 

Astican has extensive experience in providing turnkey solutions for your BWTS, take a look at what we do in this video.
