Damen Shiprepair Harbour & Voyage (DSHV) has partnered with Verolme Special Equipment for the ‘provision of services’ to exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS) or marine scrubbers.
The agreement follows the need for wider availability of onboard scrubber installation services.
Many vessels are opting to have scrubbers installed to help comply with the IMO 2020 Sulphur Cap.
DSHV MD Jozeph WD Quak said that there is an increased need for maintenance, service, modifications and repairs.
Quak said that there may be problems due to vibrations in the newly added steel structures and that the sulphur’s acidic nature can corrode discharge piping, overboard pipes and scrubber system.
He said that the solution can be replaced by GRE pipe systems and SMO installation on crucial locations.
