Case Study

A bilge assessment was conducted aboard a Canadian ship built in 1961 with a 3,600 HP main engine. The ship was having problems treating bilge water and incurred high offshore discharge costs as a result.

Hermont technicians conducted the assessment in fall 2006, and over the following months, Hermont technicians provided solutions to allow the ship owner to improve the bilge processing flow and increase crew knowledge of problem sources. The solutions were progressively integrated In order to respecting budgetary constraints.

Results:

According to the ship owner, the cost reductions were of the order of $17,000 in the first half-year due to drastically reduced discharge to shore.
