The order was placed with TECO 2030’s US subsidiary TECO 2030 Inc.
“The sale of existing and proven technology to reduce emissions and pollution from ships means TECO 2030 will have meaningful short-term revenue streams while we work on our most ambitious project: the development of the TECO Marine Fuel Cell, a hydrogen-based fuel cell specifically tailored for maritime use. The order from Seabulk perfectly illustrates this combination of short-term sales and long-term development,” said Tore Enger, CEO of TECO 2030 ASA.
Ballasts are reservoirs used to stabilize ships according to their load. In order to prevent invasive species and possible health issues, a ship’s ballast water needs to be treated before being discharged back to sea.
TECO Ballast Water Treatment System is developed and manufactured in France by the company BIO-SEA, the ballast water treatment division of BIO-UV Group, a European leader in UV water disinfection systems. The system is designed for inactivation and elimination of organisms, in order to comply with the IMO D-2 standard and USCG regulations for discharge during ballasting operations. All BIO-SEA systems will also comply with the new G8 rules which will be enforced on 28 October 2020.
