USCG afviser DESMI Ocean Guard appel

13. juli 2016 offentliggjorde US Coast Guard, USCG, deres endelige beslutning om at afvise MPN metoden til kontrol af ballastvand Treatment Systems. Det betyder, at DESMI Ocean Guards RayCleanTM system til behandling af ballastvander ikke acceptabelt for USCG.

”Selvom vi ikke er enige med beslutningen fra USCG vil vi naturligvis respektere den. Vi vil fortsat arbejde på at få MPN-metoden accepteret også i USA, som den er alle andre steder i verden, men i mellemtiden må vi af hensyn til vores kunder, sikre USCG typegodkendelse af RayCleanTM system”, siger Rasmus Folsø, CEO i DESMI Ocean Guard.

Den 12. juni afviste DESMI Ocean Guards appel vedrørende USCG’s oprindelige beslutning om at afvise brugen af MPN testmetoden for typegodkendelse af RayCleanTM systemet til behandling af ballastvand.

”Vi vil nu udføre den krævede yderligere testning med FDA metode til at påvise overensstemmelse med USCG regler. Disse test er blevet planlagt og forberedt i løbet af foråret og er nu i gang på DHI’s testfacilitet i Danmark. Vi forventer at færdiggøre landbaserede test dette efterår og sigter efter USCG’s typegodkendelse af RayCleanTM systemet sent i 2016”, siger Rasmus Folsø.

DESMI Ocean Guard havde i marts 2015 indsendt en ansøgning om typegodkendelse til USCG, hvor MPN-metoden var blevet brugt til at verificere systemets ydeevne. Men efter en indledende afvisning af MPN metoden fra USCG i december 2015 og appeller indgivet af flere store producenter af UV baseret ballastvand behandling systemer i februar 2016, har USCG nu bekræftet deres afvisning af MPN-metoden.
