AFECO Expands into Superyacht Market
AFECO is expanding its presence in the superyacht market with a range of unique bespoke wastewater treatment management and support packages tailored specifically for the superyacht sector.
The company recognises that the superyacht sector faces unique wastewater management challenges. Issues can arise as a result of the complexity of wastewater treatment systems, which are getting more complex due to the tightening of effluent consents. Process problems can occur due to mechanical inconsistencies, the result of needing bespoke systems in order to fit a vessel’s layout. Superyacht engineers and interior crews often lack the support and training to deal with the onboard systems and this results in lost time and additional cost resolving these issues.
AFECO’s solutions are specific to the superyacht sector. They work to address the unique challenges that the sector faces, through the right combination of knowledge, prevention, optimization, training and support. This saves vessels time and money, while ensuring that overboard discharge remains compliant.
AFECO has put together three distinct packages to address the range of needs within the superyacht sector. The risk management package is tailored to manage and lower risk for new builds and retrofitted systems and is targeted at yards and management companies. The package includes detailed evaluation of the black and grey water systems and process commissioning and testing to ensure that waste systems function within controlled parameters before superyachts leave the shipyard.
The optimization package provides tools to enable existing vessels to identify and rectify performance issues. The package offers detailed evaluation of system design and installation, process performance testing, system optimization, recommissioning, warranty claim support and reporting.
