Finnish group Wartsila is targeting the Chinese scrubber market in a deal with Cosco Shipping Heavy Industry (CHI Group).
The memorandum of understanding covers the development of local production resources, it said.
It wants to create a "one-stop-shopping" service for exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS).
“We are honoured that Cosco Shipping Heavy Industry has selected Wartsila as a partner in delivering the world’s most innovative exhaust gas cleaning technology to its customers. We look forward to together serving the EGCS market locally in China,” said Jan Othman, its director of exhaust gas treatment.
“The CHI Group intends to expand its manufacturing portfolio of marine equipment. The Wartsila technology in marine scrubber systems is world-class, and we look forward to a successful cooperation between our two companies,” added Zhao Zengshan, vice president of CHI Group.
