BWMS Maintenance

Maintenance services typically provide continuing engineering services and repair to maintain equipment or system integrity and calibrate components as required by the OEM. URSA is one of the leading suppliers of those services, certified by a large number of suppliers and with experienced personnel that have worked and maintained all brands of BWMS installed on ships.

BWMS Troubleshooting

BWMS are essential when ballasting or deballasting (whence during cargo operations), since it is required that all ships treat their ballast water to meet the D-2 discharge standard of the BWM Convention. When a BWMS breaks down or stops working at optimal capacity, the ship´s operation gets disrupted causing shut downs and frustrations, not to mention the economic consequences.

URSA technicians are experts in finding out the root cause of the problems, proposing remote assistance when possible, but also fixing the problem onboard whether mechanical, electrical or related to software.

A typical job shown here is dismantling a TRO meter completely, stripping and cleaning every part, replacing broken ones and putting it back together working as new.
