Damen Green Solutions and Bawat have announced a new joint venture to develop and market “the world’s greenest” mobile ballast water management system (BWMS).

The joint venture will operate under the name Bawat Damen. Under the joint venture, Bawat  will provide its InvaSave system for treating ballast water, leveraging its pasteurization process that eradicates organisms without the use of chemicals, filters, or UV.

Damen Green Solutions will undertake the construction of these systems. The partners will share a joint focus on sales and global marketing.

“We are very pleased to be extending our relationship with Bawat,” Marcel Karsijns, Managing Director, Damen Green Solutions, said.  “The timing is excellent and having a mobile sustainable product that is straightforward to operate and maintain is attractive for our customers. The first two units for a customer are already being built at one of the Damen yards and new orders will be fulfilled at short notice thereafter.”

“The formalisation of the Bawat Damen joint venture marks a pivotal moment in maritime innovation. By combining Bawat’s ground-breaking BWMS technology with Damen’s extensive capabilities in construction, we can offer an unmatched, compliant, and environmentally friendly ballast water treatment systems to the industry,” Marcus Hummer, CEO of Bawat, commented.

The collaboration aims to revolutionise the mobile ballast water treatment landscape by providing efficient, easy-to-install systems that cater to vessel owners in need of compliant solutions.
