NAIAS LABS is aware of and is involved in the challenges shipping is facing with regards to environmental compliance, providing also effective monitoring solutions.

NAIAS LABS is working together with a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Oldendorff Carriers in a scientific study on the *Life Cycle Analysis of Scrubber systems.

Vessel M/V HEDWIG OLDENDORFF of Oldendorff Carriers has been fitted with extensive scrubber monitoring equipment, for all discharges, and is expected to sail in an experimental voyage in late May 2023.

The scrubber systems wash waters analytical sampling kits and testing have been assigned to NAIAS LABS along with participation to the results assessment.

We look forward to a successful voyage and the study work results, which should be of significant interest to international shipping.
