Headway's "EPC Model" Accelerates Ballast Water Management System Installation to Just 14 Days
Recently, Headway successfully delivered an OceanGuard® ballast water management system to the UAE-based owner Alphard Maritime for their platform supply vessel, "AM PARADISE". Using the EPC model (Engineering, Procurement, Construction), which integrates design, 3D scanning, procurement, production, installation, commissioning and water sample analyzing, the project was completed in just 14 days from contract conclusion to final onboard acceptance inspection. The vessel owner was impressed and praised Headway's team for the efficiency and quality.
"AM PARADISE" is a newly acquired platform supply vessel by Alphard Maritime. Due to a tight dry-docking schedule, the owner requested rapid delivery. After the contract was signed, Headway efficiently coordinated internally under the "EPC model", simultaneously conducting design and procurement. By the third day, the entire OceanGuard® ballast water management system was delivered on board, and the following installation, commissioning, and inspection were completed in less than 10 days. Upon project delivery, Alphard Maritime management called to express gratitude, recognizing the team's exceptional efficiency and professionalism.
According to Headway, the success of this quick delivery was due to in-house production of core modules and a "shared distribution" model based on big data. With pre-production of core modules for standard models, Headway can meet tight deadlines while ensuring quality.
The OceanGuard® BWMS uses advanced electro-catalytic oxidation technology, ensuring single treatment, compact size, low energy consumption, and no production hydrogen gas. It is certified by nearly 20 major classification societies and is in leading position of market share worldwide. Headway has also introduced a deep catalytic ballast water management system without filter, providing more options to partners. Moving forward, Headway aims to innovate continuously, supporting low-carbon shipping and ocean environmental protection.
