A customer of Value Maritime, closed the first lease for their 3.0MW Value Maritime Scrubber Installation.
The 3.0MW Installation is now running successfully on the vessel for 9 months. By signing a lease agreement with Value Maritime Lease Partner Beequip the shipowner arranged financing for their Value Maritime scrubber installation separate from the vessel.
“Our installation is uniquely positioned to make leasing possible for our customer. Something which is of importance in a capital intensive industry like Shipping . We are happy that with our first lease partner Beequip made this possible for our client. We expect more leasing deals, for the greenest option for fossil fuel vessels, to be signed the coming months. This is where Value Maritime stands for: “green solutions for the Maritime Industry with a clear business case for our customer that is financeable”

What is an unique financing solution BEEQUIP has to offer the industry?

Recently we have financed the FlexFueler, an innovative bunker pontoon: The Flexfueler is designed to have a fixed location to supply inland waterway vessels, but can also be navigated to larger sea-going vessels”
VALUE MARITIME – REINVENTING SCRUBBING
Value Maritime developed a small prefabricated, pre-installed, “plug and play” EGCS in a 20ft transportable casing, that filters Sulphur and ultrafine particulate matter (PM 2.5) from the exhaust gasses of vessels. With the new regulations of IMO2020 getting closer, their system is a good alternative for many vessels for whom traditional retrofit scrubber installations are not an option.
By Installing a Value Maritime Installation shipping companies have the greenest solution compared to MGO in CO2 reduction 2tons per MW per day (15.000 km with a diesel car), Particulate Matter PM10 (99% reduction) / PM2.5 (>90% Reduction) and Sulphur (99% reduction).
The all-inclusive modular concept supports financing arrangements independent from the present ship’s financing. Making lease for the Value Maritime scrubber a viable and interesting option.
