How does it work

Certified on-shore treatment with InvaSave

1 Certified on-shore treatment with InvaSave

Damen developed the InvaSave container specifically to provide ballast water management service when other systems have overstepped their boundaries. The revolutionary system enables single-pass treatment of raw, untreated seawater. For you, this means that where ever you picked up your ballast water and whether or not it has been pre-treated by an onboard system, you can count on InvaSave to dispose of your water in a compliant, certified, manner. All in one go. Please see our dedicated webpage, too.

How does it work

The InvaSave container can be placed on board or operated from the quay

2 The InvaSave is highly mobile

It can be placed on board or operated from the quay. We hook it up to the ballast water manifold, or deploy submersible pumps to get to your ballast water.

How does it work

We take care of connecting your vessel to the InvaSave

3 We take care of connecting your vessel to the InvaSave

InvaSave: right for me?

 

InvaSave means certified clean ballast water for your vessel. The technology behind it is a breakthrough enabling the greatest possible flexibility at all times. This is because the InvaSave uses a single-pass treatment process, enabling certified ballast water management at discharge (or at intake!) only

We are here to help if you:

  • Haven’t had the time or opportunity to perform mandatory ballast water exchange (D1 Standard);
  • Trusted to be able to perform ballast water treatment with your on-board system (D2 standard), but can’t because of unscheduled downtime or malfunction of the machine;
  • Operate (unmanned) barges/pontoons without their own pump rooms (i.e. if you have no possibilities to adhere to mandatory standards);
  • Are looking at possible delays imposed by relevant authorities due to mistakes made with ballast water management;
  • Are having to decide on whether or not your aging fleet is worth the investment of installing a retrofit system, or whether you have to scrap vessels that could go on for a few more years.

Contact us to find out more about the possibilities that the InvaSave technology has to offer, or for an out-of-the box approach to your ballast water needs!

Certifications & Paperwork

IMO-certified ballast water management system

Quality of our products and services is of paramount importance for Damen Shipyards Gorinchem

We know that ballast water compliance is about paperwork, too. The InvaSave is fully certified to do its job: treat ballast water in a single step either at discharge or at intake. To complete the paper trail, upon completion of a ballast water treatment job, Damen issues a certificate stating the amount of water treated, the system used, and other relevant details. This official document should be added to the ballast water record book on board and certifies that the water has been managed in accordance with the relevant standards.
