  The Sewage Treatment Unit is built and installed on board by our sister company Holland Repair and Services b.v. Amsterdam.
   
  By fitting this new Biological Treatment Plant, the ship complies with the latest international rules from IMO and the sewage is treated in an environmentally friendly way. Holland Marine Services Amsterdam b.v. is the only Dutch based producer of this type approved by Lloyds Register and the Netherlands Shipping Inspection . Further it is accepted by USCG under Marpol ( IMO approved systems )
   
  The MSD-II series are the most compact biological system, with low sludge production and self-regulating biological process. Next to the standard design,the units can be " custom design " or modular. This to accomodate retrofit in exsisting vessels.
   
 
   
  This modular unit type MSDII/160S with capacity of 160 persons black- or 110 persons mixed black- and greywater was built for retrofit on Barge 331 owned by European Marine Contractors Ltd. Low weight and custom design made it possible to airfreight the unit to Singapore, were the ship was refitted.
