Ballast water treatment systems
Moss Hydro engineers unique solution
Recently established Moss Hydro is set to address a ballast water challenge that is causing concern in the shipping industry, that of reliable filtration. Stein Foss, the former CEO and co-founder of ballast water treatment (BWT) business OceanSaver, has set up the independent company with three partners, and engineering, marketing and manufacturing experts. Te company aims to create filters designed specifically for ballast water treatment.
Voyager 4, the next generation in chart management “We have incorporated a number of industry Single screen filter, inside view “Our filters are unique,” comments Moss
Hydro CEO Foss. “There is nothing else on the market that offers the same quality of materials, precision manufacturing standards, self-cleaning capability and extremely short delivery times in one all-round package. This gives us a huge competitive advantage.” Moss Hydro filters have been created for
optimised self-cleaning and minimal maintenance. Crafted from super-duplex stainless steel, they are corrosion free and 50-70% lighter than conventional filters. The filters are manufactured in a robotised facility
in Norway, enabling
firsts into the new Voyager,” explains Thomas Gunn, founder and managing director of Thomas Gunn Navigation Services. “The new Route Planning functionality will enable the Mariner to plot an optimum route and then automatically receive a tailored list of corrections for that route alone. Our Digital Loose Leaf application delivers digitised loose leaf updates straight to the vessel. As part of the service provided by Thomas
Gunn, subscribers to the Voyager system will automatically receive the new Voyager 4 software. The Voyager service does not require any additional communication equipment thereby eliminating any hardware, installation and on-going maintenance costs. Voyager software is installed on a Windows PC and can be updated via email or web service.

version 1.1 of Pipecheck Creaform has announced the release of version 1.1 of its Pipecheck software module for pipeline external corrosion analysis. With this new release, Creaform will give users better quality and ease-of- use when it comes to pipeline inspection and non-destructive testing (NDT). Pipecheck’s pipeline external corrosion module
offers very fast, efficient and streamlined data processing that can generate instant, on-site results. Data is presented in a complete Excel report, and has increased accuracy and repeatability compared to
traditional measurement methods such
as pit gauge, ultrasonic (UT) probes and single-line lasers. New features of the software include: interaction
