Mr. İlker Özgür DOĞRUÖZ, head of Marine Segment, Borusan, said:
The integrated solutions of both systems by Caterpillar is the primary advantage of purchasing all related equipment from one responsible party. Because the solutions come IMO Certified from the factory they require no on-site emissions testing, and finally Caterpillar’s world class aftermarket product support will ensure continued success
