The agreement which kicked off in May of this year will cover all three of Well-Safe Solutions assets, the Well-Safe Guardian, Well-Safe Protector and the latest addition to its fleet the Well-Safe Defender and will deliver products and services for the provision of safe drinking water on the assets.

This latest framework will have OWM cover the full cycle of water management from initial on-board audit through to installation. The agreement also involves the OWM’s latest Technical Supply service of the business involving procure, installation and commission of spares.
