The Nexus Victoria, a 75,000 dwt LR1 product tanker, has become the first vessel in its category to be fitted with a dual-purpose exhaust gas cleaning and carbon capture system.<\/p>\n
The installation was recently completed in Singapore under the supervision of Value Maritime (VM), a company specialising in emission-reducing technologies.<\/p>\n
The system, known as Filtree, serves as a dual function, acting as a scrubber to remove sulfur and fine particulate matter while also capturing CO2 from the vessel\u2019s exhaust gases.<\/p>\n
According to VM, the Filtree system currently can capture 10% of the tanker\u2019s CO2 emissions, with plans to increase its capacity to 30% in the future. This makes the Nexus Victoria the largest vessel to feature VM\u2019s SOx scrubber and carbon capture technology.<\/p>\n
The Nexus Victoria is owned by Mitsui O.S.K Lines and managed by Synergy Maritime. The vessel was built in Japan and is powered by a single two-stroke, six-cylinder diesel engine manufactured by Mitsui Engineering.<\/p>\n
MOL considers this installation an important step toward reducing emissions from ships that are not yet able to transition to alternative fuels.<\/p>\n
The company has reiterated its commitment to developing carbon capture solutions and is actively working on establishing a CO2 value chain that will support industries such as greenhouse farming, methanol production, and the food sector.<\/p>\n
VM\u2019s Filtree system is designed to be a compact, plug and play solution that can be integrated into existing vessels. The system consists of: a gas cleaning unit that remove sulfur, 99% of fine dust practicles and CO2 from the exhaust gases.<\/p>\n
A water treatment unit that filters out oil residues and particular matter ensuring that wastewater discharge meets environmental regulations.<\/p>\n
Value Maritime, founded in 2017, has already deployed similar systems on several vessels, including the MR tanker Pacific Cobalt in 2023, and multiple ships operated by Ardmore Shipping.<\/p>\n
The company\u2019s sister organisation, Value Carbon, is working on developing a network that will handle captured CO2 from both the maritime and industrial sectors.<\/p>\n
