The Russian invasion of Ukraine is a flagrant breach of international law. It has no justification. Albion Marine Solutions strongly condemn this reckless act and unprovoked attack on Ukraine. Our heartfelt sympathies are with Ukraine and its people.

To respond to Russia's egregious transgressions of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity and significant human rights violations. Mr. Sergiy Yakovenko, Director of Albion Marine Solutions, has stated that "Albion Marine Solutions will immediately stop providing services to Russian companies and vessel ship owners worldwide." The Russian attack on Ukraine is appalling. The prayers of the entire world are with the people of Ukraine. We are praying for the proud people of Ukraine. God bless them all. 

We are pleased to announce that the Canadian Ferry Association has named Albion Marine Solutions as its February 2022 supplier member of the month.

Albion Marine Solutions has received this honor for its sustainable solutions in protecting the ocean and combating climate change by serving and retrofitting countless vessels with turnkey solutions and reducing the effects of Sox, Nox, and greenhouse gases.

The International Maritime Organization's (IMO) initial 40% GHG reduction targets by 2030 and decarbonizing shipping entirely by 2050 by achieving net-zero emissions targets necessitate a multi-pronged effort. National and port authorities are also raising their environmental standards; currently, the only available solution to meet the IMO goals is to switch to an alternative fuel, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), which provides an immediate benefit in terms of carbon, Sox, and NOx reductions. It is widely available, inexpensive, and the only alternative fuel with an existing and well-established infrastructure.

LNG conversion is a well-established and viable path toward more sustainable fuels, and it plays an important role not only in reducing ship carbon footprints but also in assisting in the elimination of other pollutants. It also opens up the possibility of adopting future green fuels, such as bioLNG or synthetic methane, without requiring major changes. According to research data on ships and vessels that have already been converted to LNG, the results prove that they have a significant reduction of around 85-90 percent in NOx emissions, 99 percent in Sox, and 20 percent reductions in CO2 emissions and other particulate matters.

Albion Marine Solution can manage all aspects of an LNG conversion project, including feasibility studies, financing solutions, solution proposals, execution planning, and project delivery. Albion Marine Solutions has formed a strategic alliance with SunRui Marine Environment Engineering Co., Ltd, and LGM Engineering, one of the world's largest suppliers of LNG fuel gas supply systems. We provide packages for specific engine types and can provide LNG systems for any marine installation worldwide, regardless of engine brand or type. A conversion project's development phase can last up to a year, with installation work lasting one to two months. Furthermore, Albion Marine Solutions is currently assisting Canadian companies interested in installing LNG packages on tugboats.

Albion Marine assists operators in arranging for in-use fuel oil sampling points to be installed or designated following section 2 of the Annex to MEPC.1/Circ. 864/Rev.1.

 Background

Key amendments in MEPC.324(75) include the following requirements:

• Three types of fuel oil samples now defined in MARPOL – ‘In-use sample,’ ‘Onboard sample’ and ‘MARPOL delivered sample’ – used to check for compliance with sulphur limits

• Ships to have designated sampling points for taking representative samples of fuel oil in use, i.e. ‘In-use samples’ (regs. 14.10 to .13)

• New procedures for in-use and onboard fuel oil sampling (reg. 14.8 and .9)

• Procedures for verification/analysis of in-use samples and onboard samples (Appendix VI, Part 2)

• Amended procedures for verification/analysis of MARPOL delivered samples (Appendix VI, Part 1)

These new requirements for the sampling and verification of the sulfur content of fuel oil, including fuel oil sampling points, enter into force on 1 April 2022. The arrangement shall be described in either a piping diagram or other relevant documents and available for survey. The detailed sampling procedure shall be available onboard.

Early compliance is advised with less than three months until the enforcement date. For more information contact our team at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
