Ballast water treatment for dry docks and shipyards

Port-Based Ballast water services for dry docking and yard operations

Dry docks and shipyards worldwide face increasing regulatory and operational demands when handling ballast water during docking, repair, and conversion projects.

Bawat’s mobile solution or Bawat BaaS – Ballast as a Service provides a reliable, port-based ballast water treatment designed specifically for dry docks, shipyards, and repair yards ensuring compliance without delays.

Bawat’s mobile solution handles ballast water treatment directly at dry docks and yards, supporting vessels before, during, and after dry-docking. This can be performed from the dockside, via barge, or through temporary onboard installation, offering maximum flexibility regardless of yard layout or vessel type.

Scheduled treatment and contingency support

Supporting compliance during dry dock and ship yard operations

During dry-docking, onboard ballast water management systems are often disconnected, under maintenance, or unavailable. Bawat BaaS provides both scheduled ballast water treatment services and contingency support, ensuring vessels can safely discharge or manage ballast water in full compliance with international regulations.

In addition to treating discharged ballast water, Bawat can also deliver fully treated ballast water to vessels, enabling compliant ballast uptake where untreated water intake is restricted by port, yard, or local environmental requirements.

Even with a functioning BWMS, vessels enter drydocks with untreated ballast water which is discharged into the drydock by removing the hull plugs . This invasive species and pathogen rich water enters the local ecosystems unless treated with a port reception facility.

Designed for shipyards and challenging water conditions

Bawat’s chemical-free, filterless, one-pass ballast water treatment technology performs consistently in all water qualities, including turbid and sediment-heavy environments commonly found in shipyards and dry docks.

This makes the Bawat BWMS particularly suitable for global yard operations where water conditions vary significantly.

Service-based model with transparent pricing

Bawat BaaS operates on a service-based model with payment per discharged volume of ballast water treated. This eliminates capital expenditure and long-term commitments, allowing shipyards and vessel operators to access compliant ballast water treatment exactly when needed.

Bawat BaaS supports dry docks and shipyards worldwide with fast mobilisation, reliable service delivery, and minimal operational impact—helping projects stay on schedule while maintaining full ballast water compliance.

The system is IMO and USCG certified, ensuring global acceptance and regulatory confidence across international ports, shipyards, and dry docks.
