The Olympus: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

Preem’s time chartered tanker Olympus, owned by Sirius, will during the winter be fitted with catalytic converters and exhaust gas boiler to reduce NOx emissions and fuel consumption. The system is developed by Gothenburg based Göteborg Energi System AB, Gesab. Both main and auxiliary engines will be fitted with catalytic converter and it is the catalytic converter shared by the auxiliary engines that will be combined with an exhaust gas boiler to reduce running hours and fuel consumption on the existing boilers. Noise levels will also be reduced. ”We are going to emit less than 2 gram Nox/KWh. The total investment is one million dollar, Sirius Shipping’s MD Jonas Backman said to Shipgaz. Olympus will according to Preem and Sirius become the first tanker in the world, which by retrofits will reduce NOx-emissions by more than 90 percent.
