An estimated 60-70 percent of the merchant fleet is yet to have a ballast water treatment system installed. Industry experience so far gives a clear warning of the pitfalls. Albion Marine offers end-to-end solutions, managing all aspects of the project from selection and procurement of the suitable system to detailed engineering design, completion of modifications, installation, training and support. We maintain an extensive technical and commercial database of BWTS currently available. Our team closely collaborates with a number of BWTS suppliers. More information: The Motor Ship

As the COVID-19 pandemic has slowed down Albion Marine's team has been extremely busy. We have been of great support to our clients, colleagues, and business partners during this crisis. Our team just completed phase I for an Advanced Air Emission Technology project designed to reduce air pollution emissions in major Canadian ports. Our team works hard to help reduce the environmental footprint of marine transportation. We have also completed the concept design for a 250 PAX hybrid ferry and a HVAC design for FPSO.

Albion Marine Solutions has developed its own proprietary design of a zero emissions electric, renewable energy powered ferry, "Albion Zero".

The ferry has been designed in line to meet the latest as well as upcoming environmental legislations, making it a future-proof solution. Albion Zero’s sustainable design is also compatible to work with solar power and tidal power to charge the onboard batteries. The ferry is designed to be fitted with a wide range of Albion Marine’s latest technical solutions that will work seamlessly to provide optimal level of reliability and efficiency. The ferry would utilise the latest developments in this domain such as wireless charging and automatic mooring capabilities.

Albion Zero’s design has been kept modular to suit different types of vessel sizes and propulsion mechanisms. Although, it can be implemented globally, it has been designed to replace/ convert the huge number of diesel-hydraulic river-crossing ferries in Canada. This concept is well suited for remote, indigenous, and Northern communities which have no grid power around the ferry crossing area to charge the batteries. The adaptability to solar and tidal power gives Albion Zero a cutting edge in the river crossing ferry market.

ABS has developed detailed practical guidance to assist offshore operators navigating Brazil’s unique regulatory environment. “Practical Considerations for Regulatory Compliance in Brazil” is designed to help floating production installations operating in Brazilian Jurisdictional Waters comply with a series of requirements that are specific and set forth by multiple local agencies. “Practical Considerations for Regulatory Compliance in Brazil” will be made available to support ABS FPSO clients from the early stages of design. The ABS BRZ and BRZ+ notations provide shipyards, construction yards, designers, owners and operators with a design and construction-focused approach to help achieve compliance with domestic regulations for FPSOs and FPUs operating in Brazilian Jurisdictional Waters.
