Yara Marine sets record with successful MARPOL test of inline hybrid scrubber on 80MW ship engine
Yara Marine Technologies has announced the successful installation of an inline hybrid scrubber system for an undisclosed customer in the ultra-large container segment.
This is the biggest ship engine ever to be successfully fitted with an inline hybrid scrubber system. The project marks an important milestone in expanding areas where shipowners can achieve full and cost-efficient IMO compliance with SOx scrubbers. The inline hybrid scrubber system also covers the vessel’s five auxiliary engines, the company said in its release.
The successful MARPOL test is a confirmation of the scalability of Yara Marine scrubbers and their ability to provide efficient SOx treatment on larger vessels, such as in the container segment.
The vessel, with an 80MW 2 stroke main engine and five (each approximately 5MW) auxiliary engines, is already in full operation in its dedicated trading route.
