Damen and Bawat Water Technologies have agreed that Damen Green Solutions has the rights to sell, install and promote Bawat’s green ship-based ballast water management system (BWMS) through its sales channel
Damen Green Solutions director Marcel Karsijns said, “Adding Bawat as a partner fits very well with our strategy in establishing partnerships with leading green manufacturers as well as making it possible to create retrofit service packages that cover every aspect of the design, installation and compliance processes.
Damen Green Solutions sales manager Rutger van Dam said, “By using the surplus heat resources from the vessel and turning it into a neutraliser for living organisms, basically eco-friendly pasteurisation, which is the greenest way to treat ballast water available in the market.”
He added, “With at least 35,000 vessels still needing to comply with international ballast water treatment legislation in the near future, we will now be able to offer shipowners Bawat’s green BWMS solution. All in all, a real green solution that uses no chemicals nor UV lamps.”
Bawat chief executive Marcus Hummer said, “Working with a global player such as Damen is a fantastic stamp of approval of our Bawat ballast water management system and how we work as a company, and we are convinced the co-operation will benefit the maritime industry looking for green solutions.”
In early 2022, Bawat, Green Swan Partners and Monstrant Viam formed a joint venture, Freedom Ballast, to provide ballast water reception services in US ports.
Bawat Water Technologies AB is listed on the Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market in Stockholm.
The first unnamed collaboration is said to be underway.
