Yara Marine Technologies announced the successful installation of an inline hybrid scrubber system for an undisclosed customer in the ultra-large container segment, as it it the biggest ship engine ever to be successfully fitted with an inline hybrid scrubber system.
Specifically, the project is a record in expanding areas where shipowners can achieve full and cost-efficient IMO compliance with SOx scrubbers.
In addition, the company reported that the inline hybrid scrubber system also covers the vessel’s five auxiliary engines.

The successful MARPOL trial highlights the scalability of Yara Marine scrubbers and their ability to provide efficient SOx treatment on larger vessels, such as in the container segment.
The vessel that had the scrubbers fitted has began operations.
Yara Marine CEO, Peter Strandberg, stated
We believe that with the successful MARPOL test on the vessel, we have inspired and convinced more shipowners about the feasibility of Yara Marine scrubbers.
Generally, Yara Marine Technologies offers full emission control systems for Sox and NOx to the shipping industry market.
