€19.3m order and option

The total combined value of the firm order and the option is €19.3m.

'We are very pleased to announce this repeat order and option, which we see as a confirmation of our longstanding relationship with leading cruise industry yards and operators. We will do our utmost to continue to deserve the trust of such industry leaders, as we deliver state-of-the-art environmental solutions to the cruise industry,' Vow CEO Henrik Badin said.

Scanship technology will treat wastewater according to operating requirements in the Baltic Sea and Alaskan waters. All residue sludge from the wastewater, along with food waste and other biogenic waste from hotel operations, will undergo several processing steps such as dewatering, homogenization, thermal hydrolysis, drying and pyrolysis.
