Finland's Langh Tech has delivered a scrubber system to a new Chios Navigation MR.
The 50,000-dwt Doric Courage was delivered in April from Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD) in South Korea, with sea trials confirming the "high performance" of the scrubber system and its simplicity, Langh said.
Chios picked the company in early 2018 to supply an open-loop hybrid exhaust gas cleaner.
"We were looking for a scrubber system for our newbuilding project that would be technically simple and sound, but with qualitative elements," said Nicholas Kydoniefs, technical director at Chios Navigation.
He added: "Langh Tech, as shipowners themselves, demonstrated and proved their understanding of our targets and we eventually received a high-performance system with minimal issues during construction, commissioning and delivery.
"We believe that we have invested in an efficient hybrid-ready solution with low operating costs."
Chios has nine bulkers and three MRs.
