Working together, they made a thorough and systematic investigation of the potential choices – and all agreed on PureBallast 3. “Alfa Laval was far and away the leader,” says shipowner and group spokesperson Murat Er.

Choose trade over trade-offs

Type approval isn’t the same as compliance. Even if a ballast water treatment system is certified, it may not get your vessel where it needs to go. Compliance Navigator is a new tool for comparing potential systems with the conditions and limitations on your vessel’s trade routes. Step by step, it guides you through key parameters and decisions, so that the system you choose complies not just on paper – but also where you sail.
