Damen developed its marine NOX reduction system in 2015 in preparation for IMO Tier III regulations. The system has proven itself on multiple applications on tugs, workboats, yachts and inland shipping vessels.<\/p>\n<p>The system uses a catalyst to react with injected urea to chemically reduce NOX from the vessel\u2019s exhaust gases. Damen adapted its standard system to meet the specific requirements of the <em>Nexus<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe chose Damen based on their familiarity with the <em>Nexus <\/em>as the original builder,\u201d said Hein Leemhuis, project manager, fleets, at Van Oord. \u201cAdditionally, they were able to offer us a one-stop-shop solution, taking care of the entire project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Damen\u2019s contract scope included undertaking a feasibility study to assess and make proposals for the installation of the SCRs. Additionally Damen was responsible for the engineering, production and installation of the systems. and taking care of the arrangements for the verification and certification for class notation of the vessel.<\/p>\n<p>Damen\u2019s marine NOX reduction system is a relatively compact system, with all component parts combined.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDamen\u2019s system combines the damper and scrubber in one unit,\u201c said Leemhuis. \u201cWith an existing vessel that has not been built with an SCR installation in mind, there is a minimum of space available, so a system such as this, which requires less volume, is ideal for a retrofit project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following the completion of the project, <em>Nexus<\/em> has been extensively, independently tested and the effects of the SCR installation on her NOX emissions verified.<\/p>\n<p>With the SCRs installed, Van Oord has reduced the NOX emissions of the vessel by up to 80%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a good match in the culture and mentality between Damen and Van Oord \u2013 we both want to go forward,\u201d said Andr\u00e9 de Bie, program manager, sustainable propulsion, at Damen. \u201cWhen you\u2019re both looking in the same direction, things are easier. As a result, there has been a very pleasant cooperation that has helped to ensure such a positive result.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/news\/video-damen-upgrades-van-oord-cable-layer-nexus\/\">VIDEO: Damen upgrades Van Oord cable layer Nexus<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/\">Marine Log<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><br \/>\n    Nick Blenkey<br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n<BR><\/BR><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinelog.com\/news\/video-damen-upgrades-van-oord-cable-layer-nexus\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=video-damen-upgrades-van-oord-cable-layer-nexus\">Go to marinelog<\/a><br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VIDEO: Damen upgrades Van Oord cable layer Nexus Rotterdam-headquartered Van Oord has installed selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems on its 2014-built cable-laying vessel Nexus, making it fully IMO Tier III compliant.
