Incredible cleaning power

Fully self sufficient

Our system utilises pasteurisation, a tried and-trusted method for eradicating bacteria, algae, and plankton. Through heating, the Bawat Damen BWMS method gets rid of unwanted species in a single pass.


Simple execution

IMO & USCG certified

The system is both IMO and USCG certified, ensuring global compliance and acceptance. It is built by Damen with standard marine components for reliable operations.


Simple excellence

  • Connection to the vessel: BWMS links directly to the ship's ballast water piping from the dockside or a barge, or temporarily lifted and installed on your ship.

  • Efficient one-pass treatment technology: makes this process the most effective and efficient compliant ballast water treatment solution saving you time and money.

  • Water flow: the ballast water is channeled through the Bawat Damen BWMS using the ship's existing ballast pump or an additional booster pump.

  • Clean discharge: once the water has been treated by the mobile BWMS, it meets both IMO and USCG standards and is safe to discharge.

  • Option for fresh ballast: ships can also be filled with pre-treated water. Water is taken from the harbour, treated by the mobile BWMS, and then filled into the vessel's ballast tanks.
