During the last IMO MEPC 77, a resolution on the strategy to address marine plastic litter from ships was adopted, confirming the commitment in reducing plastic litter entering the marine environment from all ships. The aim is to strengthen the international framework and compliance with the relevant IMO instruments, targeting to achieve zero plastic waste discharges to sea from ships by 2025.

Our Principals, Messrs. URSA AS, have developed a solution that helps Shipowners to improve their environmental footprint, by reducing the plastic wastes from their vessels.
URSA Essential Drinking Water Systems provide a sustainable alternative to plastic bottled water, while helping on the improvement of working conditions onboard the ships.

URSA Essential Drinking Water System

URSA Essential DW is a four-stage ultra-filtration system, equipped also with a pre-filter, ensuring a ready-to-drink purified water out of the freshwater stored onboard. The system consists of a robust metallic cabinet, with a spare part package sufficient for up to 2 years of normal operation.
It comes in a box ready to be connected on ship´s common freshwater system, either in the galley or in the accommodation and engine room areas.

• On-demand drinking water – always fresh and crisp with all necessary minerals
• Improvement of the environmental footprint of the vessel by reducing the plastic litter
• Simplification of logistics without concerns about drinking water supplies
• Simple and easy to install

URSA Essential Drinking Water System is suitable for all types and sizes of vessels, with proven records and wide reference onboard numerous ships worldwide.

URSA Essential Disinfection Unit

URSA Essential Disinfection Unit is an electrochemical activation cleaning and sanitizing system, being an environmentally friendly way to produce disinfectant liquid.
It only uses water and table salt to produce a highly effective, non-toxic and non-hazardous liquid that can sanitize surfaces, while can be also used as hand sanitizer onboard the ships.

The solution has undergone stringent EN microbiological tests and has UK and EU biocide regulations certifications.

• Components are activated using a form of electrolysis
• Simple to install and operate only with salt and water
• Solution lasts for 72-96 hours and can be recycled for reactivation
• It can be also used in pipes for the removal of biofilms
• Standard package comes with dispensers ready to be operated and can produce 30-45 liters per day
