BIO-UV Group has secured a significant order from SIEM Ship Management to supply its BIO-SEA Ballast Water Treatment Systems for three car carriers managed by SIEM. The order includes retrofit installation of B02 BIO-SEA BWTS units with a flow rate of 300m3 per hour on the Siem Copernicus, Siem Curie, and Siem Socrates. This order follows previous deliveries of BIO-SEA B-Series equipment for SIEM reefer vessels since 2021.
The car carriers, Siem Copernicus, Siem Curie, and Siem Socrates, have capacities ranging from 3,205 to 4,900 cars and were built between 2009 and 2010. BIO-UV Group’s CEO, Laurent-Emmanuel Migeon, expressed delight in the continued partnership with SIEM Ship Management and highlighted the confidence shown by SIEM in the company’s innovative Ballast Water Treatment System solutions. The BIO-SEA systems are approved by the IMO and USCG, offering a cost-effective, reliable, and environmentally friendly solution.
BIO-SEA B-Series systems provide an ideal balance between cost, performance, and reliability, with benefits including zero by-products, zero active substances, and zero-induced corrosion. The systems aim to protect marine biodiversity and prevent the spread of invasive species. SIEM Ship Management’s commitment to environmental protection is demonstrated through its membership in NAMEPA, an organization promoting sustainable marine industry practices and educating the public about ocean conservation.
