Optimarin boosts naval orderbook with BWTS deliveries for newbuild frigates at Damen Naval
Optimarin has secured a prestigious award to supply its market-leading ballast water treatment system (BWTS) for four newbuild naval frigates ordered at Dutch shipyard Damen Naval in a significant order that bolsters its strong track record of successful deliveries in the naval market.
The contract scope covers delivery by Optimarin of BWTSs for each of the four Anti-Submarine Warfare Frigates to be built at the naval shipbuilding division of Netherlands-based Damen Shipyards Group for which we have previously delivered several systems, both for naval retrofits and commercial newbuilds.
“This award reinforces our established reputation as a reliable supplier of high-quality BWTSs to naval vessels and represents a further strong endorsement of our product from a long-established and important customer.”
Naval track record
Optimarin now has more than 40 systems delivered or on order for naval vessels with the latest contract, which marks our first naval newbuild order with Damen. These cover Nato navies around the world including the UK, US, Germany and Spain as fleet investments are ramping up.
In a wider perspective, Optimarin has sold nearly 2000 systems to the shipping industry worldwide as it marks its 30th anniversary this year, with its BWTS type-approved by both the IMO and US Coast Guard for regulatory compliance.
