Solving Salt Mist Contamination for Batam Ferries

We have worked hand in hand with Batam Fast Ferries in Indonesia on two projects to date, one a 41.6 meter ferry and the other their Ocean Raider fast ferry. Both projects were full ventilation systems designed by Marine Air Flow to support the General Arrangement supplied and were shipped from our factory here on the Gold Coast to their production facility in Indonesia. 


Experiencing high levels of salt water mist and contamination, Batam Ferries were concerned about ongoing damage especially with a repower on the horizon. The engine room was showing severe signs of alloy plate corrosion and general equipment degradation. A site inspection was carried out by MAFI and a comprehensive system upgrade and design was supplied.

A simple plan was developed to ensure the best possible engine room conditions using intake grilles, fans and outlet grilles. Sometimes, a simple air flow solution is the best.
