Dixstone Netherlands aimed to install a ballast treatment system on the semi-submersible barge Karaveg, a project that presented significant challenges due to the barge’s ballast water pumps capacity.
The complexity of this task required careful planning and precision to ensure the system would function effectively and safely.
From the outset, the project was about making the right decisions and finding the most suitable solutions.
This project involved detailed assessments of the barge’s structure, understanding the specific requirements for the ballast system, and selecting the appropriate technology to meet those needs. The goal was to enhance the barge’s stability and operational efficiency while adhering to industry standards and regulations.
After conducting the feasibility study, we decided, together with the owner, to install two treatment systems to ensure the efficient operation of the barge Karaveg. Ballast water treatment systems were installed in pump room, distributed one in each side, portside and starboard. We had one team on-site for 48 days to handle the installation of the two BWTS.
Our team worked closely with the client throughout the process, ensuring clear communication and effective problem-solving.
The project highlighted the importance of strategic decision-making and the implementation of tailored solutions to overcome technical obstacles and achieve project goals.
