Ballast Water Treatment System Installation Complete Across Entire Fleet

CS Tanker has completed the installation of IMO-approved Ballast Water Treatment Systems (BWTS) across all vessels in the fleet, ahead of the regulatory deadline set by the IMO's Ballast Water Management Convention.

Why Ballast Water Treatment Matters

Ballast water is taken on by vessels to maintain stability when not carrying cargo. When discharged in a different location, it can introduce invasive aquatic species that can devastate local marine ecosystems. The IMO's Ballast Water Management Convention requires all vessels to treat ballast water before discharge.

Part of the Green Shipping Initiative

The BWTS programme is one component of CS Tanker's Green Shipping Initiative, which also includes the EGCS scrubber installation programme, hull optimisation, and the evaluation of alternative fuels.
