Terragon Environmental Technologies Inc. and Marship Engineering entered into a contract with Zhejiang Ouhua Shipbuilding China to supply a MAGS V8 for the new build vessel mv Happy Sun of Netherlands based BigLift Shipping (a member of the Spliethoff Group). As shipping companies are increasingly under a microscope regarding their emissions to the environment, the decision by BigLift Shipping to chose MAGS gasification technology reflects its role as an early adopter of innovative technologies on their ships.

MAGS technology from Terragon will support this endeavor by being the preferred technology onboard for the conversion of various streams of non-recyclable waste such as: dry garbage, sludges and waste oils into energy.

“We are excited about this new contract, and see this as another signal that the marine industry is taking serious steps towards more energy efficient and better environmentally performing technologies for the conversion of shipboard waste into energy” said Andrew Korney, Director of Sales for Terragon, in a press release announcing the deal. “Next month the Pollution, Prevention and Response (PPR) group 4 shall meet in London and the gasification topic is on the main agenda for continued discussion.”
