Corsar to be retrofitted with Alfa Laval exhaust gas cleaners
Hamburg-based Buss Shipping will install Alfa Laval PureSOx exhaust gas cleaning systems on two of its container ships at the beginning of 2016. The sulphur oxide (SOx) scrubbers will reduce emissions and fuel consumption on the vessels. Hybrid PureSOx systems will be retrofitted on board the container feeder vessels Condor and Corsar in January and February. These 1,025 teu vessels operate exclusively in emission control areas (ECAs) of the Baltic Sea and North Sea where SOx in fuel and emissions is restricted. The exhaust gas cleaning systems will allow Buss Shipping to burn cheaper heavy fuel oil in these vessels, reducing fuel costs. It decided to invest in a closed-loop mode scrubber because of the low-alkalinity waters between Rotterdam and St Petersburg, as well as in ports such as Hamburg, where there are zero-discharge requirements. “The hybrid PureSOx systems on the Condor and Corsar will provide emission compliance with maximum flexibility and fuel economy. This will uphold the competitiveness of our offer to charter customers,” said Buss Shipping managing director Torben Kölln. http://www.containerst.com/news/view,alfa-laval-exhaust-gas-cleaners-chosen-for-two-buss-container-ships_41294.htm
