15 PPM Monitor Retrofit & OWS Restoration – Suez Anchorage, Egypt

A major marine environmental compliance project was successfully completed at Suez Anchorage, involving the retrofit of a 15PPM Monitoring System and restoration of the vessel’s Oily Water Separator (OWS), which had become fully non-operational.

The vessel had been unable to discharge bilge water due to the complete failure of both the OWS and the 15PPM monitoring system. The issue had been raised by Class and required immediate rectification within a short notice period to maintain compliance and vessel operations.

Critical Retrofit Of 15PPM Monitor

The existing 15PPM monitor was fully non-operational and required urgent replacement. It was successfully retrofitted with the SMART BILGE system from Rivertrace Limited.

The scope included

• Complete installation
• System integration
• Testing and commissioning
• Operational verification
• Compliance checks

The system was restored to full working condition, enabling the vessel to resume proper bilge discharge operations.

OWS Restoration Despite Phased-Out System Challenges

The OWS control PCB belonged to a phased-out model no longer supported by the original maker, creating an additional challenge during the project.

Despite the limited availability, suitable used spares were sourced within a short lead time. Through efficient troubleshooting and replacement, the entire OWS system was successfully restored back to operation.

This allowed the vessel to regain full environmental system functionality without extended downtime.

Class Witnessed Testing & Verification

All functions were thoroughly tested and verified in the presence of Class, including

• Operational Functions
• Monitoring Performance
• Alarm Conditions
• Safety Interlocks
• Calibration Checks
• Full System Performance

Every aspect was validated to ensure full compliance with marine environmental regulations before handing the system back into service.
