Vow ASA subsidiary Scanship has been awarded a €5.7m contract with a major European shipyard for the delivery of two advanced wastewater purification systems.

The Scanship systems will be installed on two cruise ships to enter service in 2024 and 2026. The vessels will operate for a European brand. Scanship has previously equipped six cruise ships under the same brand.

The technology will purify all wastewater generated from 6,500 people on board to the highest international discharge regulations, in line with the newly enforced Baltic Sea standard and according to continuous Alaskan water discharge requirements.

Plus a €5.7m option

The contract includes a €5.7m option for two additional vessels.

'The cruise industry is undergoing its most disruptive period in history, still with focus on post-pandemic growth by maintaining its large newbuild programs. We are both thrilled and humbled by this new contract, as it demonstrates industry ambitions and signals continuous commitment for sustainable operations to protect our oceans,' Vow ASA CEO Henrik Badin said.
