Air pollution emissions from shipping continues to grow and in order to improve this situation regulations have been introduced which specify that the sulphur content of ship fuels should be significantly reduced by the year 2020. As a leading distributor of specialty chemicals that reduce harmful emissions, Brenntag has been able to help both ship operators and specialist maritime service providers meet this challenge. Through the utilization of its extensive global operational footprint, experts at Brenntag have successfully developed a robust logistics and supply chain solution, which enables the safe delivery of both Liquid Caustic Soda and Urea Solution directly to cruise liners, which dock at ten ports in Europe, plus Dubai, the Dominican Republic, Canada and the United States. These products optimise the effectiveness of the systems that are used to purify ship emissions.
