Dry Engine Rooms Vital to Tidewater

Tidewater 's new crew boat Miss Jane Tide carries moisture eliminators from Delta "T" Systems , meeting a vital requirement of offshore service vessels which is to prevent moisture and sea spray entering the engine rooms.

Three other vessels currently under construction at Quality Marine will also carry Delta T equipment.

To prevent possible engine damage and corrosion, Delta "T" Systems' moisture eliminators are mounted on their intake vents leading to the engine and generator rooms. Dry air passes easily through the devices' vertical channels while moisture droplets collide with the channels' walls and collect in special gutters to drain harmlessly away.

Tidewater operates almost 700 energy support vessels worldwide and three more similar to Miss Jane Tide are currently under build at Quality Marine.
