Langh secures Greek scrubber deal

Greek shipping companies Marmaras Navigation and Delta Tankers, have selected Langh Tech’s systems for their fleet upgrade programme.

The order is to equip nine 92,000 dwt post-Panamax bulk carriers and one 114,000 dwt Aframax tanker with Langh Tech Open Loop Hybrid Ready systems, plus the option for more shipsets to follow. The systems will be delivered in 2019.

Laura Langh-Lagerlöf, commercial director of Langh Tech, said: “The systems will be designed to fit restricted engine casing spaces and their low operating costs will offer a significantly fast pay-back to the shipowner.”

“We have further committed to provide a strong technical support during the whole installation and commissioning procedure,” she added.

The supply comprises U-type scrubber towers for all ten vessels. In each installation the main engine and all auxiliaries will be connected to the multi-inlet scrubber tower.

Paschalis Diamantides, owner of Marmaras Navigation and Delta Tankers, said: “We have selected Langh Tech for offering an attractive combination of system quality, simplicity and proven track record.”

“We felt comfortable with their production facilities and we valued highly their inherent experience on scrubber systems,” he added.
