“Good day, Hatenboer-Water… You want a potable water maker good for 60 cubic meters per day, built into a transport container, suitable for the Caspian Sea and able to withstand -40°C temperatures? And you want it within 9 weeks and 4 weeks later you want an identical one…?”
“At Hatenboer-Water you are indeed at the right address.”
This was how a request from The Hoop Lobith shipyard was received a few months ago.
The shipyard was in negotiation with Roborg BV, a partnership between Roelofs Floatels and Wagenborg, for the conversion of two river cruise ships into offshore accommodation ships for the Caspian Sea in a very short space of time.
The ships, Ravel and Debussy, were built ten years ago by De Hoop Lobith, and were already equipped with Hatenboer-Water drinking water production units.
Hatenboer-Water had to be creative in order to realize these new projects. There was insufficient time to build standard 60 m3/day systems. However, the company was able to complete five DEMITEC Sea Standard RO units, each with a capacity of 12.5 m3/day, within this tight delivery schedule.
These units were installed in a well insulated 40 ft container. Nine weeks after the order was placed a fully operational system was installed on board and, as requested, four weeks later the containerized unit for the second ship was delivered.
After this rush job, a further three sets of five Demitec Sea Standard RO systems followed. These were also installed in Roberg hotel ships, one of which was commissioned by De Hoop Lobith and two by Holland Shipyards. These systems were not built in containerized form as there was sufficient room for them in the engine room.
If you have any questions or comments about these projects, or you need further information, just let us know.
