Finnlines Pens Service Order for Existing Alfa Laval PureSOx Scrubbers
Alfa Laval today announced that Finnlines Plc (Finnlines) has signed a service order for the performance optimisation of its existing Alfa Laval PureSOx scrubber systems on seven RoRo vessels.
The vessels include Finnpulp, Finnmill, Finnhawk, Finnkraft, Finncarrier, Finnmaster, and Finnmerchant, all of which operate in the Baltic Sea Emission Control Area (ECA).
"As one of the most complete and proven SOx scrubber platforms on the market, PureSOx was an obvious choice for us," said Juha Ahia, Manager for Newbuildings & Projects at Finnlines.
"Alfa Laval is more than an equipment supplier. In Alfa Laval, we have a reliable partner who can make sure our vessels are always in compliance and that we get the most out of our investment."
Finnlines' six-year Performance Agreement with Alfa Laval is noted to include annual condition audits to ensure optimal operation and provide insights into the state of the equipment.
"The Alfa Laval 360° Service Portfolio is a clear yet flexible approach to service," said Teun Nikkelen, International Customer Support for Alfa Laval PureSOx.
"Working closely with Finnlines, we defined an agreement that would deepen our partnership and secure reliable equipment performance at the lowest total cost of ownership."
Last week, Alfa Laval announced that it had won a SEK 125 million ($13.81 million) order for its PureSOx exhaust gas cleaning systems.
