GEA and A&P Group have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) regarding a cooperative partnership for the promotion of the ballast water treatment system GEA BallastMaster marineX at the marine trade fair SMM in Hamburg, Germany. The MoU with A&P Group covers the complete requirement from vessel survey, supply, installation, commissioning and service of the GEA BallastMaster marineX system by A&P Group.

The newest version of the system as just released, features an in-line driver design, incorporated junction box and increased power supply range. These new features reduce the installation footprint by approximately 30 percent and the mechanical and electrical installation requirements significantly on any refit or newbuild project.
