Our new vessels are fitted with a state-of-the-art filter system. A filter system that processes exhaust gases and prevents nanoparticle emissions.
Ultra-Low Emission Vessels
Our filter systems filter out 99% of nanoparticles
Unlike the trend using LNG as alternative fuel, our new vessels still use diesel-fuel to power their engines. In our opinion, switching to LNG does not offer a solution, because the emission of harmful products remains unchanged. According to research, emissions in LNG vessels even increase in some situations. Whatever the fuel and type of engine only filtering removes harmful products. And with our filter system, 99% of nanoparticles are filtered out.
ULEVs go beyond IMO Tier III regulations
The vessels are diesel-electrical powered, with engines allowing optimal use of generated power but with low fuel consumption and emissions. In addition, the vessels are equipped with a two stage highly efficient exhaust gas filter system, resulting in emissions complying with the European Stage V regulations for inland waterway vessels.
Their blue funnel
The ULEv vessels stand out in filter technology, and therefore we also want to make them stand out visually. The funnel of this type of vessels is blue.
In addition, the vessels outfitted with ULEv have their own logo. The ‘v’ in the logo is intentionally small and covered. This symbolises the minimal emissions of nanoparticles thanks to the filter layer.
Acknowledgement
In a world of climate change and general environmental awareness, our approach is appreciated, talked about and acclaimed by industry leaders across the spectrum.
The level of interest shown by others has allowed us to open up more forums to express our vision. We grab this opportunity with both hands. And the fact that renown maritime organisations reward our technology is only the cherry on the cake.
