Scanship has been awarded a retrofit contract by Grand Circle Corp. to deliver and install an advanced wastewater purification system on the 1990-built Corinthian.

The ship is operated by Grand Circle Cruise Line.

The Scanship system will purify all gray and black water according to IMO Marpol MEPC 227(64) including chapter 4.2 for special area where also nitrogen and phosphorus will be removed.

The retrofit will take place at Naval Roche shipyard in Lisbon during the fall.

'We are thrilled to work with Grand Circle Cruise Line to upgrade this ship to the highest effluent standard for wastewater discharge,' Scanship CEO Henrik Badin said. 'Their commitment to cleaner oceans by investing in advanced wastewater purification technology conveys a strong message and outlines a new environmental standard for this segment of the cruise industry.'
