Tore Enger (TECO 2030): “This proves the market is still attracted to scrubbers while zero-emissions technologies are readily becoming available”
The TECO Future Funnel is designed to comply with existing sulphur oxides (SOx) emissions regulations and is ready to be adapted to future regulations
Since 1 January 2020, IMO legislation has mandated that vessels reduce SOx emissions to 0.5% sulphur equivalent by using either a scrubber or compliant low-sulphur fuel.
TECO said its Future Funnel is suited for all types of vessels, both retrofits and newbuilds, and the company can offer single or multi inlet inline, as well as bypass exhaust cleaning systems as per customer needs.
“I am happy to see the first future funnel installed on board a vessel. The shipowner can now sail with reduced emissions without interrupting its operations,” said Group chief executive Tore Enger.
“We are ready to install more future funnels to shipowners willing to reduce emissions and get returns on their investments. This proves the market is still attracted to scrubbers while zero-emissions technologies are readily becoming available. ”
The Future Funnel was developed by TECO in co-operation with the Austrian powertrain company AVL.
Both vessel and owner went undisclosed.
