Wave bilge filter for highspeed ferry
One of Europe’s largest ferry companies operating in the eastern Mediterranean Sea has chosen a Wave International water bilge filter system for its new highspeed catamaran.
Attica Group will fit its Aero 1 Highspeed ferry with the Wave MiniBOSS oily water bilge filter system as part of its commitment to reducing pollution.
The ferry operator has introduced three of the new catamarans at a total of more than €21 million for the three million annual passengers on its Greek Saronic routes. Built by the Brødrene Aa Shipyard in Norway, the 36 metre carbon vessels can reach a maximum speed of 32 knots.
Eliminating water pollution
The Wave MiniBOSS oily water separators have been supplied by Norwegian-based Yarconsult.
They are said to be ideally suited to high-speed boats and catamarans because of the low weight compared with other bilge water separators on the market.
The Attica Group currently operates 32 vessels in total, across four countries and to 60 destinations, connecting 71 ports, transporting over seven million passengers, one million private cars and 400,000 freight units annually.
