Optimizing chemical management on ships is a critical aspect of maintaining operational efficiency and safety. The simplest yet effective solution is using a dosing system that significantly improves handling and application of chemicals onboard ships. Explore how Wilhelmsen's range of dosing systems help transform your maritime operations. 

Enhanced Safety and Compliance

Dosing systems dramatically improve safety by automating the chemical dosing process directly from chemical pail, eliminating the need for manual chemical handling. This reduces the risk of spills and exposure to hazardous substances, thereby enhancing crew safety and ensuring compliance with stringent maritime regulations.

For instance, in potable water treatment, precise dosing of disinfectants ensures that the water quality meets international safety standards. By minimizing direct contact with chemicals, these systems contribute to a safer working environment.

Improved Accuracy and Consistency

One of the key advantages of modern dosing systems is their ability to deliver exact amounts of chemicals for each application. This precision helps maintain optimal chemical concentrations, which is essential for effective treatment and minimizing waste. The consistency provided by these systems improves the reliability of onboard systems and ensures compliance with operational standards.

Effective Spill Containment

Our latest range of dosing systems includes built-in spill containment features, to manage accidental spills effectively. This reduces the risk of accidents and ensures the safety of the crew by maintaining a secure and hazard-free working environment.

Streamlining Operations and Saving Costs

The automation offered by dosing systems streamlines the chemical handling processes, creating efficiency that translates to reduced accidents and spillage, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination. This allows crew members to focus on other critical tasks and prevents unwanted chemical reactions, resulting in lower operational costs and increased productivity.

Incorporating modern dosing systems into onboard chemical management strategies offers substantial benefits, from improved safety and precision to enhanced efficiency and cost savings. As the maritime industry continues to advance, these innovative solutions play a pivotal role in improving operational performance and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
