Qatar is currently the largest market for MariNOx, the region’s first emissions monitoring system for pollutants in exhaust gas from ships, according to Martek Marine, a leading marine safety and environmental monitoring products.
Recently, the company has secured 12 orders of the system from the Ras Laffan industrial city project, its largest client to date.
The monitoring system will be installed on LNG tankers for the Qatar Gas II project.
“The Middle East has become a very important market for us and we expect to secure another order for a further eight MariNOx systems in Qatar over the next six months, “said Duncan Gaskin, Area Sales Manager – Middle East, Martek Marine.
He added: “Forward thinking companies in the region, and those who have international environmental quality standards, will inevitably adopt direct monitoring as the most legitimate method of demonstrating exhaust emission quantities.”
The system, launched in June last year, will make its exhibition debut at Seatrade Middle East Maritime in Dubai on 4-6 December this year.
“In addition to MariNOx, we will launch a new fuel saving facility which will be able to save two large stroke engines between $100,000 and $500,000 per annum,” added Gaskin.
