Cruise ships have a very suitable profile for the Bawat BWMS because they have high-powered main engines and other heat sources.
Cruise ships need to be conscious regarding what they discharge because they venture into ecologically fragile areas where other commercial vessels normally do not trade.
As the Bawat Ballast Water Management System (BWMS) is treating water in voyage, the ship’s crew can fully concentrate on other operations while in port. There are no disruptions as the system is not running at this point.
Cruise ships generally carry very little ballast water. The ballast water tank is often located in the stern or aft of the ship and is used to adjust the trim or draught. Cruise ships mostly have uptake of ballast water at sea to avoid sediment in the ballast tanks.
The system is designed to fulfil the actual needs for treatment of ballast water resulting in a small footprint. Bawat’s BWMS has no filters and no consumables resulting in negligible OPEX for ship owners.
