Finnlines Plc invests further in environmental technology. Finnlines has signed a contract with one major supplier for installation of exhaust gas scrubbers for the Star-class roro-passenger vessels.
The installations will be completed by the end of 2014 and in early 2015.
Being equipped with sulphur scrubbers, the Star-class roro passenger vessels will comply with the IMO and EU SOx emission regulations in a cost-efficient manner. The new stringent regulations will enter into force in the Sulphur Emission Control Areas on 1 January 2015. Scrubbers will reduce exhaust gas emissions, such as sulphur oxide emissions and particulates efficiently and also some nitrogen oxide emissions.
These investments are part of the 2014 extended capex programmes.
