BALLAST WATER OPERATIONS on Heavy Lift vessels
Particulars
- Large ballast pumps
- Majority of ballast water being operated is for e.g. sub-merging and trimming - Same Risk Area (SRA)
- Bawat can separate Navigational and Operational Ballast Water
Bawat has written a Whitepaper specifically on Heavy Lift Vessels and Ballast Water Management Systems (BWMS).
CHALLENGES, RISKS and BWMS features for hLV's
Challenges
- Vessel stability during cargo operation
Risks
- Disruption or delays to cargo operation
- Free surface movement of ballast water
BWMS features
- No impact on cargo operation
- Reliable and simple
- Small footprint
BENEFITS of One-pass treatment
- No disruption of cargo operation
- Smaller footprint in the engine room
- Low CAPEX
- Low OPEX
- Smaller weight, meaning more cargo capacity for the vessel
Reference Case Example
- Vessel type: 16.700 dwt semi-submersible
- Ballast Water Pumps: 2.500 m3/h
- Bawat BWMS: 300 m3/h
