BWTS in a Box Fits in Cargo Hold

New ClassNK-approved container-type Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS) installation technology. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), working jointly with Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL), has developed installation technology of a ballast water treatment system (BWTS) enclosed in a standard-size freight container for installation in the hold of container ships. The new technology will significantly reduce BWTS retrofitting turnaround time in comparison to engine-room BWTS installation.
