About

Optimarin AS was founded in 1994 in Stavanger, Norway, and was one of the first companies to develop a system for environmentally friendly purification of ballast water, with the premise of using no chemicals. In 2000 it installed the world's first ballast water treatment system on board the cruise ship Regal Princess.

After years of testing, development and patenting, the Optimarin BWTS obtained IMO type approval in 2009, and in 2016 Optimarin was the first company to receive US Coast Guard approval. Certificates are held from DNV, USCG, ABS, Bureau Veritas, China Classification Society, Korean Register, Lloyd's Register and RINA. The company states it is approaching 2000 systems sold, and it operates in accordance with ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015.
