Fluorescence Ballast Water Testing: STAF or PAM

Fluorescence Ballast Water Testing: STAF or PAM?

31.01.2022

Fluorescence ballast water testing tools come in two varieties: STAF (Single Turnover Active Fluorometry) and PAM (Multiple Turnover Pulse Amplitude Modulated). In this article, we’re taking a look at some of the key differences that set these two techniques apart, and how these differences impact the results of ballast water compliance testing. Ballast water testing: why? Ballast water is defined as water taken on board a ship to control trim, list, draught, stability or stresses of the ship. Ballast water operations are essential for the safe operation of ships and a perfectly standard part of shipping – ballast water providesRead more

Ballast Water Webinar Week

Ballast Water Webinar Week

17.01.2022

Chelsea Technologies’ Michael Haraldsson joins the panel this week at Ballast Water Webinar Week to discuss the many issues that are surfacing around commissioning testing. The amendments to regulation E-1 of the BWM Convention adopted by MECP 74 require biological efficacy testing when commissioning a BWTS on board a vessel. But what happens if the commissioning test is unsuccessful? Beginning Tuesday 18 January, Ballast Water Webinar Week will be holding a series of webinars focused on deadlines, commissioning tests and shipowner requirements for 2022 and 2023. Each webinar is meticulously researched and speaks to a key industry challenge, headache or opportunity.Read more

Protecting The Marine Environment In Our Changing World With Chelsea Technologies

11.11.2021

Why is global shipping rising? With so many stores closed during the Pandemic, consumers globally had no option but to turn to the internet to buy the products they need. The pandemic sharply accelerated the shift towards a more digital world and triggered global changes in online shopping behaviours that are likely to last well beyond 2021. A key thing to note is that this acceleration towards online shopping is a global phenomenonas is the new urgency protecting the marine environment: in developed economies, online shopping was already popular, but some of the largest increases were in China and India,Read more

Being Part Of The Solution: How Chelsea Technologies Research And Innovation Is Tackling Climate Change

09.11.2021

Why does Phytoplankton matter regarding climate change? Seen from space, earth is unquestionably an ocean planet; a beautiful blue marble serenely floating in a cold empty void. Standing at any shore, the big blue appears endless and even somewhat empty, filled with nothing but water. But below the surface, the ocean is in fact brimming with microscopic plants called Phytoplankton. If you were to take an empty glass and scoop up some water from the shore, in that glass you would have between 75-100 million Phytoplankton. Phytoplankton are the foundation of the aquatic food web, the primary producers, feeding everythingRead more

2021: A Second Wave of Scrubbers

24.02.2021

It’s easy to mistake January 2021 for January 2020 with all the talk of widening HSFO / VLSFO spreads. And as numerous scrubber manufacturers have hinted in recent weeks, it’s looking increasingly likely that there’s going to be a second wave of shipowners installing scrubbers. The price differential has been slowly climbing for a couple of months now, and recent analysis by Greg Miller suggests that Capesizes with scrubbers are already looking at more than $2,500 per day of savings. Indeed, as TradeWinds reported on 28 January, a scrubber fitted VLCC was recently fixed at a time charter equivalent rateRead more

Marine Air Pollution: Scrubber manufacturers take on maritime GHG emissions, by Craig Jallal

05.01.2021

Scrubber experts relayed their experience of retrofit installation, wastewater monitoring and lowering the closed-loop scrubber carbon footprint during the Marine Air Pollution, Europe conference during a session sponsored by Yara Marine Technologies. During the session, Chelsea's Matthew Kenney tackled the topic of wash water monitoring. Chelsea Technologies is the provider of the Sea Sentry IMO-compliant wash water monitoring system. He noted that around 80% of scrubbers in use are open loop, meaning that seawater is pumped into the gas desulphurisation unit and back out to sea. “The whole issue of waste water is poised to be a more pressing issue throughout 2021,” he said. “This is because the rules have not been set and Wash water rules are sitting in the awkward guidelines space as an annex to the main regulations.” Read more

Being sure about ballast water compliance – article by Matthew Kenney for Tanker Operator Magazine

21.10.2020

Shipping companies have a degree of responsibility over ballast water compliance and whether they actually manage to remove organisms from ballast water before discharging. How can this be best done? Tanker Operator magazine spoke to Chelsea Technologies. Just buying and installing a type approved ballast water system may not be enough to guarantee regulatory compliance, says Matt Kenney, head of marketing with Chelsea Technologies, a UK specialist in sensor design and manufacture. Shipping companies have a degree of responsibility over whether the ballast water they discharge contains organisms above the allowed limit. In most maritime state legislatures, ship operators areRead more
