PML Applications Ltd offers 3 services.
Ballast Water - 1. Understand your operating environment before choosing your BWTS: • Has your chosen system been type approved for the specific conditions in your operating and port environment? • Will your filters cope? Did you know that, as well as biological material, suspended particle concentrations in estuaries can be many grams per litre, and particle sizes can range from around 1 micron up to a few millimetres? 2. Test your system after it is installed to make sure that it works: • Do you really want to pay for your BWTS without knowing that it works or meets the IMO D-2 discharge standard? • Is your indicator microbe testing in line with current US regulations? • Do you want to run the risk of delays and/or Port State intervention that regular testing will overcome?
Biofouling - 1. Understand your vessel’s specific needs: • Is your antifouling system matched to your vessel’s operational profile (including port visits and lay-ups)? • Have you matched your hull cleaning programme specifically to each vessel's operational profile? • Do you have a fit-for-purpose biofouling risk assessment? 2. Survey your vessels: • Do you perform regular biological surveys to understand what you are carrying on your hull and in your sea chests, stabilisers and thrusters? • Have you got a scientifically robust biofouling management plan, essential to avoid route restrictions?
