RO-RO Vessels and Ferries

Most ships simply sail into port and have their cargos loaded directly into their final stowage location.  At Hyde Marine, we know that sort of static loading is a luxury your ships simply do not have.  With an industry-leading zero-hold-time requirement, the Hyde GUARDIAN® allows you to continually move ballast on and off the vessel to account for cargo movements, shifting tides, ramp angles, and the inevitable challenges that comes with cargo moving around below the deck plates. Our gravity ballasting and deballasting modes give you the flexibility to allow your cargo to set the ballast flow rates, and our industry-exclusive Internal Transfer mode makes sure that as you shift ballast in port or during the voyage, the treatment system does not inadvertently think is it being bypassed.

Since the Hyde GUARDIAN system has been tested in the most rigorous water available, you know we will stand by you no matter how far upriver you need to go in your voyages. Our proven track record during testing in the Baltic Sea over the winter gives you further assurance that when the water shifts to ice, you will not be left stranded without a treatment system. But the real benefit if GUARDIAN is the peace of mind that your crews will not have to focus on ballasting while they need to be attending to cargo.

From our earliest systems, Hyde Marine has been dedicated to serving the unique needs of this very special brand of ship.
