White paper: Optimisation and upgrade solutions during dry-docking

Ships now have to comply with the D2-2 standard, meaning they must have a ballast water treatment system installed. This white paper aims to highlight the regulations and requirements needed for ship operators to be able to operate in sensitive waters. It will also expand on the other complementary services ship operators can action in addition to ballast water, such as upgrading shaft seals, bearings and installing complementary monitoring systems to support towards enhancing operations.
