MarinFloc Wins U.S.

Approval

Sweden-based Marin Mijoteknik

AB recenlty obtained a U.S. Coast

Guard Type Approval Certificate for its MarinFloc bilge water treat- ment system. The lack of satisfac- tory techniques to handle emulsi- fied bilge water from engine room areas has resulted in increased interest in such systems. Royal

Caribbean has equipped eight of its ships with the MarinFloc sys- tem, and Star Cruises has ordered five units. More than 30

MarinFloc systems have reported- ly been installed and approximate- ly 20 units have been ordered within the last year.
