In line with increased shipping decarbonization efforts, Swedish manufacturer Alfa Laval and Japan’s National Maritime Research Institute (NMRI) realized successful testing of onboard carbon capture and storage (CCS) using an exhaust gas cleaning system.

Alfa Laval and Wallenius will form a 50/50 joint venture in order to supply innovative wind propulsion solutions for cargo vessels and other ship types.

Alfa Laval will start testing two new types of marine fuels; biofuels and methanol, in its Test & Training Centre in Denmark.

Alfa Laval Marine Division and Maersk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping joined forces, signing a Strategic Corporate Partnership Agreement, to develop zero carbon solutions for the shipping industry.

An industry group including Alfa Laval, DTU Energy, Haldor Topsoe, Svitzer and the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon, aims to accelerate the development of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology, which can use green fuels to generate electricity.

The US Coast Guard Marine Safety Center received two applications for Ballast Water Management System (BWMS) type approval for the SKF BlueSonic BWMS manufactured by Hamburg-based SKF Marine GmbH, and the PureBallast 2.0 BWMS manufactured by Swedish Alfa Laval Tumba AB.

Swedish engineering group Alfa Laval published its Interim report for the time-frame between April 1 and June 30, 2019, highlighting that but its order intake was down due to 'weak demand' for pumping systems and scrubbers.

The USCG Marine Safety Center issued its 19th BWMS Type Approval Certificate to Swedish manufacturer Alfa Laval Tumba AB. The Certificate was awarded after a USCG detailed review of the manufacturer’s application determined the system met the requirements of 46 CFR 162.060.

Alfa Laval announced that, in partnership with MAN Energy Solutions, the Alfa Laval Fuel Conditioning Module (FCM) LPG has undergone successful tests with the first two-stroke, high-pressure marine engine to use LPG as fuel – and has been evaluated for use with ammonia.

Mr Anders Lindmark, Head of PureBallast, BU Marine Separation and Heat Transfer Equipment, Alfa Laval emphasizes on the importance of planning well before installation of a BWTS considering vessel’s needs. Mr. Lindmark advises operators to plan before and focus on sufficient skilled engineering expertise.
