Automation, gas and system integration specialist, Høglund Marine Solutions, in collaboration with Oldenburg-based HB Hunte Engineering, has developed a breakthrough tank concept for LPG and CO2 transportation, based on existing, proven technology.
The approval marks a significant breakthrough for the Wärtsilä system in the Chinese market. Full scale testing was carried out after its shipboard installation was completed, and the relevant data was reviewed and reported by Dalian Maritime University, as an independent third party.
The digital system ensures the IHM can be updated accurately, effectively and in real-time to comply with the EU Ship Recycling Regulation (EU SRR) deadline of 31 December 2020, as well as its ongoing maintenance requirements.
This Oberlin Filtration System is now offered for worldwide marine applications exclusively through CR Ocean Engineering and will integrate seamlessly with any hybrid/closed loop scrubber system supplied by CROE.
The milestone order reinforces the market maturity and proven environmental and financial savings of the Silverstream® System and further demonstrates the global appeal of air lubrication as one of the most viable clean technologies available within the shipping industry.
The two-year partnership will see an Associate of the University of Southampton, secured under the programme, work with Silverstream’s Technical Team with the goal to advance machine learning and artificial intelligence within the Silverstream® System’s control and automation module.
Owners looking for monitoring systems should ensure that their system of choice performs the full regulatory analysis, as required by the IMO.
Hoppe Marine has a great opportunity to install the system for the first time on a 15,000 TEU container ship of CMA CGM, a world leader in shipping and logistics, which is currently under construction in Shanghai Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding.
Those who plan on investing in scrubbers are still in the running to make big gains as the global economy recovers. But, in order not to fall foul in the current confusion, a clear understanding of wash water monitoring is crucial in order to ensure that these investments are safeguarded from the emerging regulatory framework.
Engineer Çağla İzkan at Famagusta Shipyard said that another project plan for the year ahead is increasing the company’s new build work, in its continuous efforts to assist its clients at all times.
