Mobile Ballast Water Treatment Deck Connector Approved
UniBallast BV has received a Rina Class Type approval for UniBallast's Universal Ballast Water Port Connector (UBPC). This deck connector allows ships to connect to a mobile containerized ballast water treatment facility on shore or on deck.
Retro-fitting a complete ballast water treatment system on a vessel isn't always the best way forward. Having a containerized unit on deck or treat the ballast water with a shore based installation might be a better solution. That's why Royal Roos and Dunacon started a company focusing solely on ballast water treatment solutions: UniBallast. As a first assignment the engineers from UniBallast developed the UBPC. This innovation in ballast water treatment (BWT) means ballast water can be transferred to a mobile facility for treatment anywhere in the world.
With the IACS-type approved UBPC, it is possible to comply fully with the ballast water management convention and the US Coast Guard ballast water discharge rule - without the expense of fitting an on-board treatment system. Whatever the ballast pump capacity, UBPC has a flow rate to match.
Far more affordable than conventional systems, the class type approved UBPC is easy to install and simple to use. Besides the UBPC, UniBallast also develops customized mobile containers and skids complete with an in-built BWT unit which can be transported by air and sea.
