Spring Marine Group, a Greek shipping company, will implement fuel treatment and emissions abatement technologies throughout its fleet.
Spring Marine Group Embraces Green Tech
While Spring Marine did not detail which specific products it would incorporate, general manager George Chondronikolas said, “At Spring, we make a point of having a constant commitment to adopting the latest technologies to minimise fossil fuel consumption and reduce the environmental impact of our business.”
“Our vision includes adopting innovative green tech solutions like SulNOx for the continuous, incremental improvements required of our vessels to meet regulatory expectations and improve the service we offer our customers.”
Spring Marine Group Joins Forces
SulNOx has developed a proprietary fuel emulsifier and conditioners it says will reduce the production of emissions. In July 2023, Teekay Corp agreed to pilot a SulNOx fuel conditioner in Gibraltar and Singapore. Spring Marine said it will roll out SulNOx products across its fleet of tankers and bulk carriers, and the deal represents SulNOx’s latest major client in the Greek maritime sector.
SulNOx chief executive Ben Richardson added, “We are extremely impressed by the forward-thinking management and technical teams at Spring. It instantly understood our unique, green chemistry and how the adoption of the SulNOx products will reduce fuel costs along with the CO2 reductions demanded by the imminent Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) regulatory requirements.”
Mr Richardson added, “Looking beyond existing regulation, how SulNOx’s huge impact in reducing particulate matter, (black carbon emissions – acknowledged as being 3,200 times more potent in their contribution to climate change than CO2) is a key indicator of improved combustion and therein reduced fuel consumption demonstrated on other vessels. We look forward to working with the Spring team.”
