Copenhagen headquartered DFDS has actually authorized a structure contract that will certainly see DESMI Ocean Guard A/S CompactClean Ballast Water Management Systems (BWMS) setup on its existing fleet of vessels.
The contract covers greater than 40 ferryboats to be retrofitted in the duration from very early 2020 up until end 2024. Most of the vessels will certainly be retrofitted with either a CompactClean-340 or a CompactClean-500 system, with max circulation abilities of 340 cu.m/ h as well as 500 cu.m/ h specifically. A couple of vessels will certainly be retrofitted with CompactClean BWMS with 750 cu.m/ h or 1,000 cu.m/ h abilities.
“DFDS is a very well respected company and one of the global leaders in ferry operation. Like DESMI, DFDS is headquartered in Denmark and has a very long history going back more than 150 years, and as such, we believe that our companies share a lot of the same values. Therefore, we are particularly proud that after a very careful evaluation and selection process DFDS decided for installation of the CompactClean BWMS on its entire existing fleet. With the very small footprint, ease of operation and completely chemical free treatment of the ballast water, CompactClean is a good and safe choice for passenger ferries, and we look very much forward to begin the implementation across the DFDS fleet,” states Rasmus Fols ø, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER of DESMI Ocean Guard A/S.
