In that vessel, Panasia Scrubber(PaSOX^TM) will be installed to meet sulphur cap 2020 regulation as well as BWTS. 

Panasia will become the only maker who provide SCRUBBER and BWTS together in the biggest containership.

Not only new building project but also many SCRUBBER retrofit projects (19,000TEU containership, bulk carrier and tankers) are being progressed, as an eco-friendly enterprise, Panasia provides good solution to shipowner to comply environmental regulation for atmospheric and oceanic.
