We verify compliance of Ballast Water Treatment Systems (regardless of manufacturer) by testifying that its physical, chemical and biological processes are working in accordance with the regulations of IMO/D2. D2 test results are assessed whilst being onboard the ship. Should the test be incompliant, another test can immediately be carried out, saving time and cost. We also offer compliance testing according to USCG/VGP requirements for
Ballast Water
Bilge Water
Scrubber Water
Fresh-, Grey- and Black Water
In addition, we provide Hatch Cover Inspections to ensure cover seals and securing arrangements will not cause cargo damage and rejections. We will visually check seals for signs of defects and by using ultrasonic leak detection methods (ULD), we objectively assess and verify the weathertightness of hatch covers.
Services include:
Hatch Cover Inspection Services
Hatch Cover Maintenance Services
Hatch Cover Leak Testing
Hatch Cover Weathertightness Testing
Our expert knowledge also includes preparation of Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) according to HKC/EU SRR for existing ships. An IHM project typically enrolls by following steps: onboard sampling, laboratory analysis, report compilation. Finally, MRV Control can set up and implement an IHM Maintenance process on behalf of the shipowner.
Services include:
IHM Inventory of Hazardous Materials
