How it works

Our holistic approach
provides you with clarity and control

The installation of a ballast water management system needs to be done fast and in a reliable way.

Our integrated approach to design ensures clarity and efficiency over any retrofit project.
Being involved from preliminary analysis to installation supervision, we ensure that
the entire project is under control, thus offering our clients peace of mind.

Project Phases

Click below to see the main five phases of a retrofit project.

01

Technical suitability evaluation

We start with a thorough analysis of available technical documentation and operational constraints to propose the best solution for the water ballast management system, or validate the solution chosen by our client.

02

Onboard survey & 3D Laser Scanning

In phase two we perform the onboard survey and 3D laser scan. Our team collaborates with the technical superintendent on the best system positioning and routing. The resulting feasibility study is a thorough assessment of the practical issues and proposed technical solutions.

03

Feasibility & Basic Engineering

Our design team updates all P&IDs for affected piping systems, electrical diagrams and heavy equipment foundations. The drawings are sent for client review and class approv

04

Detail Engineering

GLO Marine applies a holistic design system to ensure optimum pipe routing while preparing the complete design package for prefabrication and successful installation.

05

Installation support

The BWMS is installed according to the prepared plans and drawings. Given the limited amount of time available, GLO Marine offers support (supervision) during the entire installation phase, to ensure operations are performed correctly. We also liaise with the shipyard for the best outcome and on-site solutions.

We deliver a turnkey
engineering solution

System fit, minimum docking time and reliable engineering - these are the 3 principles that govern the installation process for BWTS.

Our extensive experience in retrofits & conversions and streamlined design workflow mean that we can deliver turnkey engineering solutions for any BWTS project, on time and in budget.
