Vessel-plumber: characteristics and features, what specialists are needed?
In conditions where fresh water is a strategically important resource, water carriers (or Aquarius) play an important role in supplying isolated areas, offshore facilities and other ships. They deliver drinking or process water to hard-to-reach places, ensuring uninterrupted water supply. This is a specialized type of fleet with special requirements for design, equipment and crew qualifications.
What is a water carrier?
A water carrier is a transport vessel, designed for transporting and storing large volumes of fresh water. Its tanks are made of materials that do not interact with drinking water and ensure complete tightness.Key Features:
