Value Maritime's Filtree Unit now available for the Greek Market
Introducing the Filtree System to the Greek Market
Value Maritime has developed the Filtree System for small and medium-sized ships based on new unique technology that, in addition to sulfur, also filters ultra-fine particulates from the air. It consists of two elements. First of all, a small prefabricated, pre-installed, “plug and play” gas cleaning system in a road transportable housing. This system filters the sulfur and 99% of the particulate matter (fine dust) from the exhaust gases of ships. Secondly, the Filtree system is equipped with a filter that cleans the washing water. Oil residues and particulate matter are removed from the washing water and fed to the sludge tank. The system ensures that the PH value of the used washing water is neutralized and, in combination with a lower CO2 emission, contributes to reducing the acidification of the seawater. We are proud that our Filtree system cleans both air and water!
Because the Filtree System removes sulfur from the exhaust gas flow, ship operators can continue to use the existing high-sulfur fuel instead of the more expensive low-sulfur fuel. The use of this existing fuel therefore saves fuel costs and has a positive effect on the maintenance and performance of the engine. The system ensures compliance with the IMO 0.1% sulfur cap (SECA).
Our Filtree System is available in three sizes, suitable for ships with different engine sizes. 3.0 MW, 6.0 MW and 10.0 MW.
If you would like to know more, please do not hesitate to contact our account manager Yvette van der Sommen directly. She is dedictated to the Greek Market and is more than happy to tell you all about our Filtree System and financing options.

Filtree System financing:
Thanks to the standardizations and simplicity of the plug and play system we have developed, the total cost for the Filtree System including installation is far lower than that of other traditional exhaust gas cleaning system retrofits.
The all-inclusive modular concept supports financing arrangements independent from the present ship’s financing.
Possibility for vessel operators (shipowners, charterers or shipmanagers) to Buy, Lease or Full Saving Arrangement the complete installation including retrofit. After a period the Filtree System can be removed from the vessel and placed on another vessel making it suitable also for older vessels.
| ESTIMATED PAYBACK TIME PER ENGINE TYPE | ||
