Ballast water compliance challenges for barges

Barge owners face increasing challenges in ballast water compliance. Regulatory pressure, high maintenance, and operational delays make managing ballast water more complex than ever.

Scienco/FAST and UniBallast introduce the InTankFITT® container. This is a portable, filterless ballast water treatment system designed to simplify compliance while reducing downtime. 🌊

Why it works for barge owners:

→ No filters, no clogging > Eliminates filtration issues, ensuring smooth operations even in turbid waters.

→ Automatic compliance > Pre-discharge reports for crews, port authorities, and customers.

→ Plug-and-play design > Fits in a 20-foot container. It’s ideal for project use or sharing between vessels.

This system treats 500–5,000 m³ of ballast water and is easily scalable for larger barges.

Whether barge owners need a flexible rental solution or full ownership, the InTankFITT® container helps keep operations compliant and efficient.
