Royal Caribbean confirms its environmental stewardship, and its confidence in Hyde Marine, with seven more of its ships set to install Hyde GUARDIAN Gold systems ─ bringing the total to twenty-seven ships utilizing the ballast water treatment systems

Calgon Carbon Corporation (NYSE:CCC) announced Hyde Marine has been awarded another series of ships for retrofit installation of Hyde GUARDIAN Gold Ballast Water Treatment systems by Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (RCL). This award for seven retrofit installations will bring the total number of Hyde GUARDIAN and GUARDIAN Gold systems fitted on RCL group vessels to twenty-seven, including both new builds and retrofits. RCL is one of seven Hyde Marine customers that have installed ten or more GUARDIAN systems.

“Hyde Marine is very pleased to expand upon our successful partnership with RCL,” said John Platz, President Hyde Marine. “This clearly demonstrates our customer’s continued satisfaction with our products and service, and helps RCL to ensure compliance and commonality in their fleet.”

“Hyde Marine has been a valuable partner in assisting us as we navigate the new regulatory requirements for ballast water treatment,” said Michael Jones, Vice President Supply Chain Management, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. “Our crews are pleased with how easily and reliably the system operates, and with how seamlessly they integrate with existing automation systems.”

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. is a global cruise vacation company that operates more than 43 ships via its brands Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, Azamara Club Cruises, Pullmantur, and CDF Croisieres de France, as well as TUI Cruises via a 50% joint venture.

Hyde Marine, a wholly owned subsidiary of Calgon Carbon Corporation (NYSE: CCC), is one of the world’s most successful ballast water treatment (BWT) technology companies with more than 430 of its ballast water treatment systems sold to date. The Hyde GUARDIAN Gold BWTS uses space-efficient filtration and ultraviolet disinfection to treat ships’ ballast water to prevent the spread of invasive species from port to port.

Hyde Marine has already completed retrofits on over ten RCL vessels, and the orders issued for this next series of vessels will ensure the supply of treatment systems through 2016 in accordance with the compliance dates for each vessel.
