Filter Solution — Cargo Hold Washing Water Filtration
The Anchor-Up Filter Solution — How It Works & What It Saves
Cost saving of 70% to 80%
Operate sustainable
Less Cost. Less Waste. More Efficiency.
The Anchor-Up Filter Solution is a self-developed, containerised filtration system designed for cargo hold washing water treatment. Instead of discharging contaminated washing water into the sea or arranging costly shore reception, the system processes the water in a fully closed loop — making hold cleaning faster, cleaner, and significantly more cost-efficient.
Developed and operated by Anchor-Up Port Service GmbH, the Filter Solution has been successfully deployed in cooperation with Swire Bulk and is available for vessels worldwide — both alongside and at anchorage.
Cost Savings of 70–80%
Compared to conventional hold cleaning with shore reception, the Filter Solution reduces total cleaning costs by 70 to 80 percent per operation.
MARPOL Compliant
All operations are carried out in full compliance with MARPOL Annex V regulations — no overboard discharge, full documentation provided.
Worldwide Deployment
The system is fully mobile and deployable at any port or anchorage worldwide — no fixed infrastructure required.
Suitable for All Dry Bulk Commodities
Concentrates, fertilizers, grains, minerals and more — the Filter Solution handles all standard dry bulk residues efficiently.
Closed-Loop Water Treatment
Washing water is filtered, recycled and reused within the system — minimising freshwater consumption and eliminating discharge.
Fast Turnaround
Reduced cleaning times mean shorter port stays and lower port costs — directly benefiting owners and charterers.
