Minerva Marine selects Wärtsilä’s ballast water management systems

The Wärtsilä Aquarius ATEX compliant Electro Chlorintation EX uses a two-stage process involving both filtration and electro-chlorination (EC).

In addition to the main systems, the agreement, which covers the retrofit of a number of vessels, includes local service support, such as training, spare parts, annual inspections and lifecycle support provided by Wärtsilä.

“We are proud to announce this extensive cooperation with Minerva Marine Inc, which shows that our safety and environment-focused approach is very attractive to tanker vessel operators. We work in close cooperation with our customers, and our BWMS partnership programme covers all stages from fleet evaluation to lifecycle support, making sure our customers can choose a service that is best suited to their specific needs,” said Giampiero de Cubellis, General Manager, Sales Support, Development & Projects, Wärtsilä Services.

Minerva Marine manages a fleet of VLCC, Aframax, Suezmax, Medium Range tankers and Capesize bulk carriers.
