The treatment of high capacity flow rates during operational ballasting introduces significant risk to the operation and, in fact, is generally unnecessary. With most operational ballasting conducted within the same location, it is, in fact, only the sea-going ballast that requires treatment.
At BWC, our barge solutions and products have been developed from over 30 years in the heavy lift transportation industry, and are designed around the treatment of the sea-going ballast only – allowing existing operations to remain largely unchanged, and removing the requirement to retrofit high capacity ballast water management systems onboard.[/cs_text][/cs_column][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/3″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_custom_headline level=”h4″ looks_like=”h4″ accent=”false” class=”cs-ta-center” style=”padding-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:5px;margin-top:0px;”]READ OUR WHITE PAPER[/x_custom_headline][x_custom_headline level=”h3″ looks_like=”h3″ accent=”false” class=”cs-ta-center” style=”color: hsl(0, 0%, 0%);padding-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:15px;margin-top:0px;”]THE CHALLENGES OF BWM COMPLIANCE[/x_custom_headline][x_custom_headline level=”h5″ looks_like=”h5″ accent=”false” class=”cs-ta-center” style=”padding-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:15px;margin-top:0px;”]PROJECT CARGO MARKET[/x_custom_headline][x_image type=”none” src=”https://www.ballastwatercontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/WHITEPAPER-2.png” alt=”” link=”true” href=”https://www.ballastwatercontainers.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/BWC-White-Paper-Rev-01.pdf” title=”” target=”” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section parallax=”false” style=”margin: 0px;padding: 45px 0px 60px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 30px 0px 60px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_custom_headline level=”h2″ looks_like=”h2″ accent=”false” class=”cs-ta-center” style=”padding-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:5px;margin-top:0px;”]THE BWC BARGE COMPLIANCE SOLUTION[/x_custom_headline][x_custom_headline level=”h3″ looks_like=”h3″ accent=”false” class=”cs-ta-center” style=”color: hsl(0, 0%, 0%);padding-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;padding-bottom:25px;margin-top:0px;”]THE 5 STEPS TO COST EFFICIENT COMPLIANCE[/x_custom_headline][cs_text class=”cs-ta-center” style=”margin:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-top:10px;”]By ensuring all operational ballast water is removed prior to conducting sea-going ballasting, and ensuring tanks are cleaned throughout, the BWC barge compliance solution offers owners / operators with a significantly more cost effective and practical compliance solution.

This practice reduces the sediment intake to the ballast tanks, and simplifies the tank cleaning process once the vessel does undertake an international voyage. BWC can mobilise the BWC Skye – a mobile sediment control system – to hep reduce the sediment intake to the vessel during local ballasting operations.
