Oshima develops remote water discharging system

Oshima Engineering Co (OEC), a subsidiary of Oshima Shipbuilding, has developed a remote water-discharging device for the boatswain store and fore peak tank (ballast tank), which must be installed together with the water ingress alarm system on board bulk carriers. This device allows the remote control of water discharging simply by fitting the system to the water-discharging devices and has already been installed on 11 Panamax bulkers.
