Wärtsilä wins major retrofit order for oily water separators

Wärtsilä has received a major order from Swedish shipowner Laurin Maritime AB. The contract, signed in March 2008, calls for six Wärtsilä Senitec M1000 oily water separation units to be delivered in mid April 2008.

The units will be retrofitted to six of the company’s vessels and will replace existing systems, thus upgrading their oily water treatment performance to market-leading standards. The order also includes six SolidPac units to handle solid residues.
