Wärtsilä Performs Exhaust Gas Clean Retrofit

Wärtsilä was contracted by TT-Line to retrofit an exhaust gas cleaning system to its RoPax vessel, M/S Robin Hood, as part of TT-Line’s Green Ship strategy. The full turnkey project will be managed by Wärtsilä, and the vessel will be fitted with four Wärtsilä Hybrid Scrubber Systems designed to reduce sulfur oxide (SOx) and particulate emissions from the ship’s exhaust. The ferry operates in the Sulfur Emission Control Area (SECA) between Travemünde, Germany and Trelleborg, Sweden. The Wärtsilä systems will enable compliance with the SECA regulations, as well as with anticipated future legislation.
