Elreedy Shipping Agency of Egypt has signed a frame agreement with Desmi Ocean Guard on the installation of Ballast Water Management Systems (BWMS) on board its fleet, wishing to mitigate the impacts of harmful aquatic invasions, being compliant and reducing pollution of the marine environment.
Emad Ragab, Chartering and Logistics & Operations Manager, Elreedy, said: “Desmi Ocean Guard will provide us with the CompactClean BWMS, which has both IMO and USCG type approval, and which is in compliance with IMO guidelines for approval of Ballast Water Management Systems (G8). We have chosen Desmi’s CompactClean system because of the very small footprint, innovative system with new features, a design that does not require complicated operations for our crew, or which needs a hard/costly planned maintenance. Finally, we have trust in Desmi to support us with after sales services like warranty, on board training, and availability of spare parts”.
The systems are all due for delivery between April and November 2022 with installations going until Q1 2023.
