HYUNDAI Mipo Dockyard in South Korea has ordered exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS) from Clean Marine to be fitted on two new medium-range tankers so that they can operate in Emission Control Areas (ECAs).
The cleaning systems will enable the new medium-range tankers, owned and operated by a British oil major, to comply with the new regulation for sulphur emissions to not exceed 0.1 per cent in ECAs from January 2015, without switching to more expensive fuels.
"These contracts confirm the growing market demand for Clean Marine's Allstream EGCS, which is a particularly competitive solution for the tanker segment," said Clean Marine CEO Nils Hoy-Petersen.
"We are very pleased to be working closely with Hyundai Mipo to deliver a cost-effective solution to help the owner comply with existing and pending emissions regulations," he said.
The two 40,000-dwt MR2 tankers are part of a series of five sister ships to be constructed at Hyundai Mipo Dockyard.
The EGCS designed by the Norwegian company enables vessels to trade in all waters and ports well within the International Maritime Organisation's and local regulations.
The system's integrated fan and gas recirculation technology allows the one EGCS unit to simultaneously serve all combustion units, including the boilers. It can be used on vessels with many exhaust sources.
Installation of the EGCS is scheduled to take place during 2016.
