Mr. David Leung, CEO of the company commented,
“Despite the challenging business environment, we have seen a remarkable increase in sales orders, achieving double-digit growth in the first half of the year. This growth is primarily driven by heightened engineering activities in water and wastewater treatment (“WWT”), although the delivery timelines will be extended until the end of this year or early next year.
Recently, we have also secured additional purchase orders from international markets, including Mongolia, Norway, and Dubai, for both WWT and ballast water treatment systems (“BWTS”).
In the coming days, we intend to diversify our sales channels and explore new product applications in high-growth regions and industries to further leverage this momentum.”
About BWTS
BWTS are an imminent requirement by The International Maritime Organization (“IMO”) to prevent the biological unbalance caused by the estimated 12 billion tons of ballast water transported across the seas by ocean-going vessels when their ballast water tanks are emptied or refilled. In 2012, ballast water discharge standard became a law in the US. Any vessel constructed in December 2013 or later will need to comply when entering US waters, and existing vessels will follow shortly after. IMO’s Ballast Water Management Convention entered into force for new-built vessels on September 8, 2017 after ratification by 52 States, representing 35.1441% of world merchant shipping tonnage. In July 2017, IMO decided that the phase-in period for ballast water system retrofits started on 8 September 2019.
The company obtained type approval certificate from China’s Classification Society for its 200, 300, 500, 750, 1200 and 1250 Cubic Meters per hour BWTS in 2016.
The IMO convention stipulates that type approval for revised G8 requirements must be obtained for all BWTS installed on or after October 28, 2020, and the company have been in compliance with such requirements.
The ballast water port solution system is a system installed in port to offer ballast water treatment services for ocean going ships without their own BWTS and for those with damaged BWTS.
