Ballast Waterby Micro Utilities Marine

Ports & Shore

Ballast water as port infrastructure.

Centralised or shore-based treatment is a different engineering problem from a shipboard skid. It is also a different commercial proposition.

PACT has published shore-based and port reception treatment applications. No particular shore-based product, capacity or approval is offered on this website until current specifications and approvals have been verified for the project.

Ports

Commercial ports considering ballast reception, contingency treatment or environmental infrastructure.

Terminals

Bulk and container terminals where vessel turnaround and biosecurity intersect.

Shipyards

Yards that need to handle ballast during repair, conversion or lay-up.

Marine Precincts

Clustered marine industry sites with shared waterfront infrastructure.

Defence

Defence facilities with vessel support and biosecurity obligations. Engagement is project-specific.

Offshore Logistics

Bases supporting offshore vessels with irregular ballast cycles.

Applications

Ballast water reception

Receiving ballast from vessels that cannot treat on board to the required standard in the circumstances.

Centralised treatment

Shore-based treatment serving multiple vessels or berths from a shared plant.

Contingency treatment

A fallback when an installed BWMS is unavailable, in bypass, or outside its design limits.

Temporary treatment

Mobile or time-bounded plant for a construction, conversion or peak-season requirement.

Vessel support

Alongside treatment support coordinated with the vessel’s ballast operations.

Port environmental infrastructure

Treatment as part of a broader waterfront utilities and biosecurity system.
