After completing world’s largest turnkey scrubber retrofit Baltec Marine wins contracts for 18 more

As ship owners all over the world rush to install scrubbers in time for the 2020 Sulphur Cap, Baltec Marine is pleased to announce completion of the world’s largest turnkey scrubber retrofit of two hybrid systems. Based on the success of these two pilot projects, the company has been contracted to oversee 18 aditional Ultra Large Container Ships in 2019.

“The ship owner turned to us from the start because they did not want to handle the work in-house, and they knew our team had the experience necessary to drive a project of this size,” says Ronnie Petersson, Baltec Marine’s Executive Director.
The installation work took place while the 16000TEU vessels were in dry dock in Shenzhen, China, starting in October of 2018. “Given the quick turnaround required, the fact that we could manage to contract the shipyard directly was a big advantage,” adds Managing Director Andrzej Dzienski.

The massive undertaking consisted of two pilot projects in which Baltec oversaw every step from engineering to commissioning of two different hybrid scrubber systems. The company plans to replicate their success when they install 18 systems back to back for the same client in 2019.

Baltec Marine currently has the leading edge in scrubber installation, having been chosen by Carnival Corp. to install scrubbers on its passenger vessels as early as January, 2014. Since then the company has managed turnkey installations for the majority of the world’s cruise and commercial shipping lines – for a total of more than 130 scrubbers on 50+ vessels.

The company works with the leading manufacturers of exhaust gas cleaning systems to offer complete turnkey installation packages. Together with its parent company, Trident Maritime Systems, Baltec Marine can offer global reach. Baltec Marine is ISO9001-certified and works in compliance with all marine and offshore regulatory bodies and conventions.
