PureBallast dry dock services in overview

Your PureBallast system has multiple components that require maintenance over time, from the UV reactor(s) and filter to the pumps and valves. We can help you plan and secure the parts needed during dry docking, especially when we inspect your system in advance.

  • Onboard Performance Assessment
    The best way to prepare for dry dock is to have us pre-inspect your PureBallast system through an Onboard Performance Assessment. This in-depth health check includes onboard testing, analysis of performance data and more. With the information it provides, we can make specific overhaul recommendations, arrange for parts and even suggest possible upgrades in dry dock.
    You can book an Onboard Performance Assessment in any major harbour worldwide, and the service is included when your system is covered by the Compliance Service Package for PureBallast.
  • Dry Dock Service Kits
    Our Dry Dock Service Kits contain all you need to maintain or restore PureBallast performance in dry dock. We customize a kit to your requirements, ideally based on a prior Onboard Performance Assessment. Since we time our kit delivery to match your dry dock schedule, you can be sure of cost-effective maintenance as planned – without the risk of rush fees or even more expensive delays.
  • System upgrades
    Dry dock time is ideal not only for maintaining PureBallast but also for improving it. Our convenient upgrade packages can boost the reliability and performance of your existing system.
