Evoqua partners with Drew Marine

This collaboration will combine Evoqua’s technology with Drew Marine’s engineering and logistics services to offer ship owners and operators expert assistance worldwide.

It will centre on Evoqua’s SeaCURE Ballast Water Management System (BWMS), which will aim to ensure ship owners meet the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), US Coast Guard (USCG) and US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) regulations.

Matt Granitto, business manager for Evoqua’s ballast water business, said: “Evoqua’s collaboration with Drew Marine will ensure ship owners and operators get an industry-leading service”

“It is of vital importance to us that our SeaCURE BWMS is backed up by the very best field service and support, combined with our technology know-how, and Drew Marine will help us deliver this across the globe,” he added.

Both companies will collaborate during the SeaCURE BWMS sales process for new build vessels and retrofit opportunities. Drew Marine will be responsible for retrofit engineering, design and installation management of the systems.

Daniel Kelleher, senior vice president of marketing for Drew Marine, said: “Our relationship with a premier BWMS provider, such as Evoqua, affords Drew Marine the opportunity to continue to offer our customers solutions addressing their most pressing challenges. We will deliver solutions consistent with our mantra – reliability, performance, compliance.”

A memorandum of understanding (MOU) will be signed by Evoqua and Drew Marine at the Marintec exhibition centre on 2 December 2015.
