Hamworthy’s freshwater division in Geesthacht, Germany—historically known as Serck Como—has been delivering marine freshwater generation systems for more than a century.
Since producing its first evaporator for sea-going vessels in 1894, the business has continuously evolved alongside changing marine technologies, operational requirements, and environmental expectations.
Today, Hamworthy continues to build on this engineering heritage through ongoing innovation, technical expertise, and long-term commitment to freshwater generation for marine and offshore environments.

Protecting what flows through every vessel.
Part of a complete onboard system.
From ballast to freshwater, wastewater to onboard waste handling, Hamworthy delivers integrated systems designed to perform under pressure and supported for the long haul.
