UK maritime equipment manufacturer Martek Marine has won a series of large orders for its MariNOx Evolution onboard emissions monitoring and engine efficiency system with Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering and Hyundai Heavy Industries.

MariNOx Evolution is a ship emissions system designed to enable simple and automated Marine Equipment Directive (MED) certified compliance with the MEPC 177(58) NOx Technical Code 2008, as well as MARPOL Annex VI and MEPC 103(49). The system measures SOx, NOx, CO2, CH4, NO2, THC, H2S, Benzene and N20.

Commenting on the order, Martek Marine’s Managing Director Paul Luen said: "Korean yards continue to choose Martek over other fledgling competitors because of our vast experience and the unique features of MariNOx Evolution. Over 100 of our systems have already been installed and have clocked up millions of operating hours. None of our competitors can even come close to this level of critical application experience across many different ship types, hence the confidence our customers enjoy in their choice. Yards are building more fuel efficient and less polluting ships and so are turning to our world-class solution to help them achieve this. We have a team of local experienced Korean MariNOx engineers who are able to install and commission MariNOx Evolution systems and have developed a particularly close working relationship with the Korean yards.”

"MariNOx Evolution is the simplest, quickest and lowest cost system to install for shipyards because all engines are monitored via a single sample line without the need to install a complex dilution arrangement requiring dry air supplies at each engine," Martek Marine added.

MariNOx Evolution was introduced to the market in 2010 following further development and engineering from the original MariNOx system launched in 2005, and is based on millions of hours of application experience.
