Low-Cost Scrubber Installation OK'd
Tuesday August 6, 2013
Poly Shield Technologies Inc. (Poly Shield) says it has completed a third cruise ship survey for the installation of a new scrubber system in the Baltic Sea.
The DSOX-15 Fuel Purification System, which is aimed at cruise, freight, and tanker vessels, promises to reduce exhaust emissions at a relatively low cost.
"The survey information obtained from all three of the ships confirms that the installation team will not face any issues with space or fuel system compatibility and that no dry dock time will be required for installation," said Poly Shield CEO Rasmus Norling.
Poly Shield said last month that LMS Shipmanagement Inc., a subsidiary of International Shipholdings Corp., [NYSE:ISH] (International Shipholdings) will test the system.
