Scrubber systems have become an essential technology for lowering sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions from ships as the marine sector throughout the world continues to confront more and more environmental laws. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) 2020 sulfur cap, which sets a worldwide sulfur content limit of 0.50% m/m and a regional restriction of 0.10% m/m for designated Emission Control Areas (ECAs), is mostly met by the shipping industry thanks to these solutions. read more…

Water treatment on cruise ships is vital for maintaining the safety, hygiene, and comfort of both passengers and crew. Operating like self-sufficient cities at sea, cruise ships must effectively manage several key processes, including the production of fresh water, treatment of wastewater, ensuring the safety of potable water, and maintaining recreational water facilities such as pools and spas. The SailBlue® division of Comercial Godó is designed to address these needs. By supplying chemicals tailored to these processes, SailBlue® helps cruise operators meet strict maritime regulations while catering to the unique demands on board ships. read more…

The marine industry is facing increasing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint, particularly concerning the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx). As a response to global efforts against atmospheric pollution, significant regulatory measures such as IMO2020 have been implemented. These measures necessitate advanced technologies and solutions to comply with strict environmental standards, especially within Emission Control Areas (ECAs). Among the various approaches, the use of urea solutions in conjunction with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology has proven highly effective in mitigating NOx emissions from marine engines. One notable product in this domain is SailBlue® AUS40, part of Comercial Godó’s maritime division. read more…
