Ballast water treatment Wärtsilä does BWTS
Wärtsilä has signed an agreement with Canada- based Trojan Technologies to offer the Marinex ballast water treatment system (BWTS), alongside the Wärtsilä Hamworthy AQUARIUS range, which was introduced to the market last year. Wärtsilä now offers the widest range of BWTS and associated services in the market, the company claims. “We recognise that no one solution will be suitable
across all ship types, sizes and environmental conditions,” says Dr Joe Thomas, director, Ballast Water Systems, Wärtsilä Environmental Solutions. “By having both the AQUARIUS and Marinex systems available, Wärtsilä is uniquely placed to deliver BWTS that meet the specific requirements of individual owners and their vessels.” In 2010, Wärtsilä Corporation and Trojan
Technologies signed an exclusive agreement to jointly develop, market and distribute a BWTS for the marine market. During the past two years the companies have worked together on a new

NMA approval Computer-based training (CBT) specialist Seagull has been awarded Norwegian Maritime Authority (NMA) approval for a comprehensive ship security training package that is in full compliance with the Manila amendments to the STCW Convention and Code. These new security training courses will be available during September of this year. The revised STCW, which came into force
in January this year, introduces more stringent requirements for onboard security training, with particular provisions designed to ensure seafarers are properly trained in case their ship comes under attack by pirates. The new courses have also been certified by
classification society DNV through the SeaSkill programme. “This was a challenging process, which effectively required us to start again from basics and produce security training which has been fully checked by DNV against the revised STCW,” adds Anders Brunvoll, Seagull senior course instructor. Under the Manila amendments to STCW, all
seafarers need approved ship security training, varying according to the level of responsibility of the seafarer. All seafarers must receive generic security awareness and familiarisation training, while those with specific security related roles need appropriate training for their role. To ensure compliance, Seagull has developed
two new CBT training levels - Level 1, covering security-related familiarisation and awareness, for all seafarers and Level 2 for seafarers with designated security duties. It has also updated its existing Ship Security Officer (SSO) course, which is the designated Level 3 of the Seagull Security On Board training system, in line with the Manila amendments. The new NMA-approved Security On Board
training courses will be released in the third quarter of 2012. In the meantime Seagull’s existing SSO course remains valid and any certificates issued based on this course will be internationally accepted until January 2017.
