The dry bulk carrier Ms Pasila, owned by ESL Shipping, a part of the Aspo Group, has been fitted with the first ballast water treatment system in Finland. The cleaning system is used to stop harmful organisms from moving from one sea area to another. The CrystalBallast system installed in the ship has been developed by the Turku-based Auramarine Ltd, a manufacturer of fuel supply systems for ships. Auramarine is a subsidiary of Hollming Group.
ESL Shipping's Ms Pasila is the first Finnish ship to have a ballast water cleaning system installed. The CrystalBallast system, developed and installed by Auramarine Ltd, a manufacturer of fuel supply systems operating in Turku, prevents alien species from being transferred from one sea area to another, and is necessary when a ship sails between the Baltic Sea and other areas.
"Alien species moving from one sea to another pose a serious threat to the environment. By installing a ballast water cleaning system in Ms Pasila, we do our part in protecting the environment and the health of our seas," says Markus Karjalainen, President of ESL Shipping.
