Evoqua bolsters BWMS access to China
Hai Cheung will support Chinese shipyards with the supply and service of Evoqua’s SeaCURE ballast water management system (BWMS).
Gus Hou, Hai Cheung’s manager for the marine equipment business, said: “We are delighted to have formed this relationship with Evoqua. By combining the knowledge of our two organizations we will provide a robust and bespoke service to all our customers in the area.”
He added: “Over the next three years, we want to grow the business in China and become the first choice for electrochlorination equipment in this market.”
During the second phase of the deal, the company will produce the SeaCURE system under licence to facilitate demand from Chinese yards.
Evoqua’s SeaCURE system is an electrochlorination Ballast Water Management solution that has been developed to meet the IMO and USCG regulations, in all three salinities. Following the recent ratification of the IMO Convention, the demand for a complete ballast water treatment solution, including design, installation and aftermarket support will grow.
The system is based around three main pillars of filtration, electrochlorination and proprietary ORP-control logic.
Lars Nupnau, Evoqua’s director for global business development, concluded: “By expanding our partnership network to China we have ensured that shipowners across the globe can enjoy consistent levels of expertise and support under the Evoqua name.”
