KISTA, Sweden – Uson Marine AB, a provider of waste management systems to the marine and offshore industries, and Marine Position AB, have reached an agreement where Uson Marine AB will be the distributor of the Environmental Navigator, a product developed by Marine Position. The product will be sold and marketed under the name Uson Clean Pilot.
Today’s ship captains face a complex web of international environmental regulations, and, since all the regulations change continuously according to the ship’s position, it has become almost impossible for captains to comply at all times. In response to this challenge, Marine Position developed its environmental navigation system, the Environmental Navigator.
The first system of its type, the Environmental Navigator simplifies complying with marine waste regulations at sea. Connected to the ship's GPS, the Environmental Navigator provides an update in real time of the applicable regulations (IMO/MARPOL and most of the regional and local regulations) at the current position. The information is graphically visualized on the bridge or in the engine room control room.
The unit displays information on: bilge water, sewage and grey water, garbage and food waste, incinerator and sulfur emissions, cargo (oil in slop tank through the ODME), and ballast water. It reduces the risk of illegal/faulty discharge and assists in the optimization of fuel handling (high/low sulfur).
The Environmental Navigator will strengthen the environmental profile of Uson Marine AB, as a waste management tool that will make life easier for seafarers around the globe. To be known as the Uson Clean Pilot, this tool will complement Uson Marine AB's product portfolio, as it aligns with the company's strategy to be at the forefront for innovative waste management solutions within the marine and offshore segments.
