PILDNE Ltd. was founded in 2003, with an aim of developing authorised solutions for refuelling of small and medium size water transport (motorboats, yachts, personal watercrafts etc.).
PILDNE's philosophy envisages not only the most effective refuelling solution that is capable to satisfying the toughest environmental requirements , service and production quality and refuelling convenience. Also it is based on long-term experience gathered in Latvia, Russia and Ukraine. So far already more then twenty operating FFS PILDNE’s projects are serving as live reference to successful solutions.
FFS PILDNE is being built under supervision of leading classification organizations such as Lloyd’s Register of Shipping and Russian River Register. Therefore, the quality and the high operational efficiency of already built FFS is vouched for. That gives an option to use another classification organization in accordance with standart procedures of filing and maintaining of ship documentation.
As a result of a specially developed solution and therefore bypassing use of a number of shipping equipment (which are necessary in traditional shipbuilding); FFS Pildne gained several advantages, like the ones listed bellow:
- absence of ballast system;
- absence of ventilation systems between tank’s walls;
- FFS PILDNE is appearing as unsinkable;
- Human error impact during the operation of FFS PILDNE is cut to a minimum.
Because of relatively low freeboard of FFS, it makes refuelling very convenient as for small size water transport (Jet Ski, motorboats, yachts), as for fishing boats and pleasure boats no bigger then 40 meters in lengths. The only connection of the FFS with the shore is the power cable and passage bridge or gangway. The complex of technical solutions and applied technologies makes operation of FFS economically effective and the process of refuelling – ecologically safe. Specially created model range of FFS PILDNE in many cases exceeds shipbuilding requirements of Lloyd’s Register and Russian River Register.
Nowadays, there are already built and registered 36 FFS, another 3 FFS PILDNE are under construction and technical supervision. The model range of PILDNE consists of floating fuel stations with the tanks capacity from 20m³ to 40m³.
Also there are self – propelled ships of series : „ PILDNE S” with the total capacity 160 / 250 / 500 / 1000 / 1500 metric tonnes of petrol products.
