On July 22, KR (Korean Register) announced that it had an opening ceremony to celebrate the completion of additional land-based test facilities for BWMS in KOMERI (Korea Marine Equipment Research Institute) located in Geoje, Gyeongsangnam-do. The test facility became the largest capacity for BWMS testing in the world through building up three facilities more. It now offers a total testing capacity for Max. TRC 500㎥/h of BWMS together with 4 testing slots. Over 150 people including KR, KOMERI and the consortium partners celebrated the completion of the new land-based test facilities. Kyu-won Park, CEO of Techcross and Seong-Tae Kim, the chairman of KABWMS (Korea Association of Ballast Water Management System) / executive director of Techcross were also invited to be a great of honor at the ribbon cutting ceremony and to deliver congratulatory message. After ceremony, they attended at BWMS meeting hosted by Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries to discuss about both the ratification of BWM Convention and request for the achievement of USCG type approval. Many BWMS manufacturers welcomed this news. As there are only 5 test laboratories all over the world, many manufacturers are waiting their turns for a long time. However, thanks to KR’ expanded test facility, BWMS manufacturers believe that it helps to solve the bottleneck phenomenon. As Techcross made a contract with KR for USCG TEST related to ECS, Techcross ECS is in process of being tested at the test facility of KOMERI even during the ceremony. All the systems of Techcross are in process of being tested to achieve the USCG type approvals at KR and DNV respectively and look forward to being completed in the first half of next year. As KR was designated as IL (Independent Laboratory) by USCG secondly in the world last year, it is being recognized around the world for its superior technology and quality. The new facility will be approved by the USCG in September and at the same time will become fully operational for land-based testing for USCG type approval as well as type approval testing for other Administrations under the IMO’s G8 guidelines.
