Martek Marine signs US$1 million Daewoo deal for emissions monitoring

MARTEK Marine, a UK maritime equipment manufacturer, has been awarded orders for its MariNOx Evolution on-board emissions monitoring and engine efficiency system by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering and Hyundai Heavy Industries in Korea.

Among the seven orders is the world's largest and most complicated emissions monitoring system to measure SOx, NOx, CO2, CH4, NO2, THC, H2S, Benzene and N20. MariNOx Evolution is designed to enable simple and automated Marine Equipment Directive (MED) certified compliance with the MEPC 177(58) NOx Technical Code 2008, as well as MARPOL Annex VI and MEPC 103(49), a company statement said.

"Yards are building more fuel-efficient and less polluting ships. We have a team of local experienced Korean MariNOx engineers able to install systems and have developed close working relationships with Korean yards," said Martek managing director Paul Luen.
