Albion Marine Solutions team is growing and now we are offering a new service including, post installation maintenance, sensor calibration and troubleshoot of Exhaust Gas Scrubbers. We are witnessing an increasing number of recent installations that are not performing according to the requirements and the crew was left alone to deal with various issues, that eventually lead to major non-compliance and fines by the US Coast Guard or Port State Authorities. Our team is travelling the world to help identify the root of these problems and coming up with solutions. We have seen wrongly tapped in piping, cable termination by Yard, which was done not according to the maker's design, and duty engineer constantly distracted by ghost alarms and frequent equipment failure. Most of these issues have been picked during vessel visit and fixed right on the spot by our team.

Slow decision making by ship operators has led to delays in scrubber installations – but this is set to change in 2020. Albion Marine Director, Sergiy Yakovenko, predicts a new waive of scrubber retrofits. Our team works around the clock to provide a full range of services related to scrubber retrofits. Albion Marine Solutions provides fast track services for the development of engineering design packages for scrubber retrofits. Our Supervisors support Shipowners in yards worldwide during installation and commissioning. Our aftersales department is very busy with scrubber troubleshooting, sensor calibrations, and technical investigations. Our certified trainers conduct crew training for handling of chemicals on board. More information: Riviera Maritime
