Delitek’s dry waste machines are ready to use and require no special tools.
Garbage in, garbage out. More than eight years after the implementation of the revised MARPOL convention outlawed the disposal of waste from ships, the response from vessel owners is as patchy as a littered beach on low tide.
“As expected, it has been
slow,” says Morton Larsen, sales director at Delitek. “We are still receiving enquiries from owners asking about compactors in order to comply with MARPOL regulations. That’s eight years after, and a little too late.” Norwegian company Delitek is a market-leading manufacturer and supplier of waste-handling systems for convenient treatment of dry and wet categories on board vessels and offshore installations in compliance with MARPOL Annex V. A family-run company generating around €4m in turnover each year, Delitek is a major player in the sector. “Delitek is one of the top three leading manufacturers of waste-handling systems,” Larsen explains. “Our patented products can be found on every type of vessel and rig around the world, even in the most hostile and demanding conditions such as the North Sea and the Norwegian Continental Shelf.”
The Delitek Greenship product range includes different systems and solutions for the proper treatment of dry waste (such as compactors, shredders, crushers and densifiers) and wet waste (including vacuum and gravity-

“Every machine in Delitek’s dry waste product range is equipped with the same interchangeable container,” Larsen explains. “You can take a container out from a shredder and put it into a waste compactor and compact it even further. This means you can obtain extreme volume reduction and have a return on investment in a very short time.” Delitek’s plug-and-play operation is the last word in simplicity and ease of use. “Take a compactor out of the packaging, connect it to the electric supply and it is ready to go, no special tools or commissioning required,” says Larsen.

the construction shed, providing 120,000kWh of energy per year. The future of river cruising will require innovation. Together with its clients, Den Breejen is looking forward to the future and investing in green technologies. Heat recovery, smaller engines, more efficient hulls and sailing on batteries all form a key part of daily discussions. As a yard, the company aims to work together with its clients to deliver the highest quality service.
At the same time, the company is innovating on the design side. Den Breejen is working on a showcase to highlight what is possible in river cruising for its existing and potential clients.

Reducing vessel weight to lower CO2
emissions
holds a clear advantage. Aluminium can be crafted so that nautical equipment and vessels are lighter, more energy efficient and more dynamic during their voyage, helping to reduce overall emissions. Aluminium is the ultimate green material for weight saving and also offers an opportunity to create a sleek, attractive design. While weight saving may be the key driver for using the material, there are other benefits of aluminium. Another viable advantage is the design flexibility with aluminium extrusion, which can reduce welding time by implementing functionality into the design of the structure. Combine this with the possibilities of using friction stir welding on aluminium and you have a finished component with integrated bulbs and a reduced need for welding. Aluminium is used to reduce the weight of a vessel or offshore structure for various reasons: whether it’s to improve stability, lower the centre of gravity, reduce draughts or simply cut installation costs. Another major reason for using aluminium is to cut CO2
emissions. This is
Den Breejen shipyard is in the process of expanding.
With at least three new-build deliveries scheduled for this year, Den Breejen Shipyard is on track for 2021.
