ERMA FIRST was nominated for the GREEN4SEA Technology Award for providing significant technological achievement in the industry. ERMA FIRST has offered a new generation ballast water treatment system, the ‘ERMA FIRST FIT’ which uses a 40 microns automatic backwashing screen filter with a significant small footprint and modular design.
Other short-listed nominees for this category were: Arista & DeltaMarin, Clean Marine, Hullvane and Thordon Bearings
Accepting the award on behalf of the company Konstantinos Stampedakis, Managing Director of ERMA FIRST stated
“This award is the result of ERMA FIRST’s consistency. Focusing on the development and design of BWTS, we have developed a unique technology and not a collection of bits and pieces of equipment. Secondly, we have launched a product ready for shipboard installation and not just a concept. Lastly, it is a result of technology superiority. ERMA FIRST is a Greek company competing on an international environment. Thanks to the Greek ship-owners but also the engineers who act like consultants in the continuous optimization of our system.”
