COSCO SHIPPING Lines Co., Ltd will receive exhaust gas cleaning systems (scrubber system) for its ten container vessels by Valmet. The installation of the scrubber systems will be performed in existing vessels in China in 2019. The project is executed in co-operation with Health Lead Development Ltd. Valmet’s orders included the order in the fourth quarter 2018 and second quarter 2019. It has been said that the value of the order will not be disclosed.
There is a long track record in supplying scrubber systems to different vessel types by Valmet and also, the company has had presence in China for over 80 years. Currently, in China, Valmet has four production units, three service centers and 1,700 employees.
“The deliveries are good examples of Valmet’s capability to create a tailor-made concept to customer. Thanks to our solution, the scrubber systems can be installed to a single-island container vessel without losing any cargo capacity. Seamless co-operation within Valmet and with our global supply network made very short delivery times possible. The systems are installed before the upcoming International Maritime Organisation (IMO) sulphur cap and they will enable the use of higher sulphur oil, which is cheaper compared to using lower sulphur oil,” says Shijie Wang, Senior Sales Manager, Pulp and Energy business line, Marine Scrubber Systems, Valmet.
