Marine Log - August 2008 - (Page 45) Ballast water treatment systems for Royal Navy Hyde Marine, Inc., Cleveland, Ohio, recently won a contract for six of its Hyde Guardian ballast water treatment systems for the Royal Navy’s Future Aircraft Carriers (CVF) program. The Royal Navy has selected two carriers that will each be fitted with three BWT systems. Hyde’s Guardian systems were chosen as a result of its compact, single skidmounted design and its proven effectiveness and reliability. The company has a total of five full scale systems with capacities ranging from 200 to 350 m3 per hr. The first of Hyde’s current systems was installed aboard the cruise ship Coral Princess and has operated flawlessly for almost five years. A second system was installed aboard the RCL Celebrity cruise ship Mercury in late 2006. The Coral Princess is expected to be the first ship accepted into the U.S. Coast Guard’s STEP program , with a Hyde Guardian system aboard. The system aboard the Coral Princess is undergoing IMO approval through the UK Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA), as well as landbased testing at the NIOZ facility in Holland. The systems will be delivered this coming fall. www.hydemarine.com World’s largest ballast water treatment System Los Angeles based NEI’s new VOS Treatment Systems have been selected by German-based Hartmann Reederei for six newbuild vessels currently on order at the Sinopacific Group’s Yangzhou Dayang Shipyard in China.
