The orders by the prominent Greek shipowner represent the largest green shipping order to date for the Singapore yard group. Under the contract Sembcorp Marine will fits scrubbers and ballast water systems to four suezmax tankers from Maran and scrubbers to nine very large crude carriers (VLCCs). The work will be carried on between Q3 this year and February 2020. The ballast water management systems will be supplied by Ecochlor, which has inked a deal for 36 systems with the Greek shipowner.

Maran Tankers said: “Sembcorp Marine Repairs & Upgrades was selected to be our partner for scrubber and ballast water management system installations as they have demonstrated the ability to work in tandem with us right from the project’s initial phase, showing dedication and commitment to resolve challenges as a team.”

Sembcorp Marine head of repairs & upgrades Alvin Gan, said, “We thank Maran Tankers and its parent company, the Angelicoussis Shipping Group, for choosing Sembcorp Marine as a key partner in executing their scrubber and ballast water management system retrofitting programme. We appreciate their confidence in our capabilities.”

Angelicoussis Shipping Group's move to fit scrubbers has been seen as a key factor in many other owners looking at it as an option to meet the requirements of the 2020 sulphur cap.
