Under the LoI, Navios and DuPont Clean Technologies will carry out a joint feasibility study and techno-economic analysis of marine scrubbing units for retrofits or newbuild installations on a variety of vessels, including tankers.
The planned feasibility study will examine the viability of fitting patented DuPont Marine Scrubbers on both retrofit and newbuild projects. “Talks with Navios reached this point because both companies are focused on efficiently reducing emissions. With our technical capabilities and flexible, reliable exhaust gas cleaning systems, we are able to ensure that Navios maintains its emissions standards with full confidence,” said Marco Dierico, DuPont Marine Scrubbers business development manager.
Navios Group operates a fleet of 163 owned and long-term chartered-in vessels ranging from Capesize to Panamax, Ultra-Handymax and Handysize bulk carriers, container vessels and MR2, LR1 VLCC and chemical tanker vessels deployed worldwide.
DuPont Clean Technologies specialises in the project management, process engineering, design, construction and commissioning of the DuPont exhaust gas cleaning system.
