New Cleanship joint venture

This includes impartial Ballast Water Treatment (BWT) and Exhaust Gas Cleaning (EGC) system selection advice, including technical, CAPEX and OPEX analysis of all commercially available systems on the market.

In-house naval architects and marine engineers will be utilised to provide full engineering packages for Class Approval and technical vessel surveys inclusive of full-colour laser scanning. In addition, the company will provide mobile installation teams for retrofit installations, including on-site project management.

Andrew Marshall, director, Coldharbour Marine, said toThe Motorship: “It quickly became apparent that there was a place in the market for a company that could provide high quality advice and engineering solutions across a range of environmental issues facing the marine industry.

Owners frequently want to “do the right thing” environmentally, but working out precisely what that thing should be is both time consuming and frustrating. Mistakes are likely to be expensive, so anything that helps owners get it right first time has to be a good thing.”

CSS has already secured the complete engineering, installation and project management of a Coldharbour Marine BWT System to a 300,000t DWT VLCC, operated by Gulf Marine Management next month. The work will be carried out at a repair yard in China.
