Bawat Baas - Ballast as a Service
Flexible, port-based ballast water service (BWMS Service) for compliance and contingency
Bawat BaaS (Ballast as a Service) is a mobile, containerized ballast water treatment service solution that sets a new standard in ballast water management, available for both contingency and scheduled service in ports and terminals.
This versatile port reception facility (PRF) offers support for vessels with malfunctioning ballast water treatment systems (BWTS) or scheduled operations in ports, terminals, during dry-docking, either from the quayside, through a barge, or temporarily lifted onto your vessel.
VERSATILE PORT Reception Facility
Contingency or planned services: Bawat BaaS ensures readiness for both unexpected challenges with an onboard Ballast water treatment system or scheduled operations. Bawat BaaS provides swift, effective solution, ensuring regulatory compliance and environmental protection in any situation.
Dry dock operations: Streamline ballast water treatment during ship maintenance and dry dock operations with Bawat BaaS. Our systems efficiently treat remaining ballast water before docking and provide compliant ballast water upon departure, ensuring smooth operations.
We enable terminal and vessel operators to protect human and planetary health, comply with IMO and USCG ballast water treatment standards to save time and money.
HOW BAWAT BAAS WORKS
The technology behind Bawat BaaS is pasteurization, a proven method effective at eradicating bacteria, algae, and plankton, housed within a containerized Mobile Ballast Water Management System (Mobile BWMS).
- Direct connection to the vessel
The Mobile BWMS is connected to the vessel’s ballast water piping from quayside, barge-based operations, or temporarily installed onboard the vessel. - One-Pass treatment technology
Water passes through the Mobile BWMS only once to achieve full compliance with IMO and USCG standards. - Water flow management
Ballast water is pumped through the Mobile BWMS using the ship’s own pumps or an external booster pump. - Option for fresh ballast
Ships can refill with pre-treated water, taken from the port, treated via the Mobile BWMS, and then transferred into the vessel’s ballast tanks.
Based on a proven pasteurization process, this technology furthermore uses standard components and systems that are widely used and understood in the maritime space, making it simple, easy, and cost efficient. The technology does not use filters, UV, chemicals, or other additives.
