The engineers at Hyde Marine developed a brand new and super effective way to totally rid the ballast water in cruise ships, tanker ships and ore boats. The system cleans the water of pathogens, and other living organisms to there point of drinkability. This is so that when ballast water is discharged in foreign ports, the ship is not contaminating the visiting port's waters. It was tested over two years and "Type Approved" in the Netherlands. Prince Charles awarded the company with an honor in appreciation for their technology which was adopted by the Royal Navy.
