TECO 2030 inks US$550,000 deal for first Future Funnel EGCS

TECO 2020 did not divulge further details regarding the shipowner or type of vessel. The contract was valued at about Nkr5.5M (about US$550,000).

The Future Funnel is a modular ‘future-proof’ EGCS that complies with current SOx regulations but can be upgraded for future emissions regulations regarding black carbon, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter.

TECO 2030’s team in Lysaker, Norway and engineering service company BLOM Maritime, part of the TECO Maritime Group, will oversee the project, which will deploy a TECO 2030 Model 8 Future Funnel, one of the towers in stock.

Calling it a “proud moment,” TECO 2030 group chief executive Tore Enger said he was “confident this will spark the second wave for scrubbers as the fuel price gap is stabilising again after almost three years with a global pandemic and three years since the introduction of the global sulphur cap implemented by IMO”.

The TECO 2030 Future Funnel was developed by TECO 2030 in co-operation with the Austrian powertrain company AVL.
