Hyde Guardian HG200L Ballast Water Treatment Retrofit For Container Ship
3D Scanning, Design, Prefabrication And Installation Oversight
Seaboard Marine, a major container operator in Miami, contacted Goltens Green Technologies’ specialists in Miami to undertake and manage the end-to-end retrofit of a Hyde Guardian HG200L ballast water treatment system onboard the Seaboard Atlantic.
The Seaboard Atlantic, built in 2009, is one of 30 vessels that Seaboard operates between the US and major ports throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.
Goltens met with Seaboard to discuss the timing and scope of the ballast water management plan and retrofit project, which included completing the installation of the system during dry-docking in Bahamas at the end of 2013. The proposal was accepted and the project was started in July of 2013 with 3-D scanning of the vessel while in port in Miami.
