Got enough power for running your scrubber?
Leif A Nielsen

Retrofit your vessel and prolong its lifetime
Pau Madsen
Retrofits are primarily made with the intent to reduce maintenance costs, increase reliability, extend the lifetime of the vessel, incorporate new technologies, change their operational designation or compensate for perceived weaknesses in their design, save fuel and reduce emissions. Also, end-of-life of an installed product or new regulations are essential factors for performing a retrofit.
