Martechnic Navigation Presents System For Potable Water Quality Management On-board

Our systems treats the water just before entering the glass or the cooking equipment removing the harmful contaminants and sediments that, based on our experience, are present in most vessel’s water networks (i.e. tanks and piping). In addition our systems provide a sufficient solution to the unwanted situation of the usually unattended shipment of bottled water, which doesn’t ensure the correct transportation conditions indicated in bottled water labels (i.e. store / transport the bottle in dry and cool place below 18°C, out of direct sunlight and away from toxic chemicals).

Installing Aquarius Plus systems on board assist company to move towards to more environmental friendly practices by removing a large amount of plastic bottles from the environment and the relevant power consumption necessary for the production. For example with 25 persons crew x 2 bottles (1,5lt) per day / person x
365 days = 18.250 bottles / year. Our resent research, getting the prices from a number of ports (Piraeus, Brazil/Santos, Canada/Vancouver, Panama, Chile and China, we calculate that the estimate average price for 1,5 lt bottle is 0,395 EURO.

For realistic analysis of the current costs of potable water supply you should include the additional costs related with the transportation of the bottled water on board (i.e.cost for barges and trucks), the storage and the waste management (i.e. cost for plastic bottle handling with compactors, trash bags and waste management companies).

As a result, your company has a saving, your crew has a healthy water to drink and cook and your contribution to the environment protection is invaluable.
Aquarius Plus and Aquarius Plus Kitchen have been already operating to a number of well known Greek shipping companies.
