This involved removing the old foam, cleaning the tanks and pipes using Fluor Clean, and refilling the systems with new fluorine-free foam. All waste materials, including old foam and wash water, were responsibly collected and disposed of in an environmentally safe manner. ## **Streamlined operations for maximum efficiency** To maximize efficiency and reduce downtime, we serviced all ferries back-to-back. This approach allowed us to work continuously, optimizing both time and resources while keeping costs down for Torghatten. The result was a smooth, uninterrupted process with minimal disruption to their operations. ## **Completed operations** Here’s a summary of the foam replacements we completed: - **MF Barøy:** Removed 4,000 liters of old foam and 1,100 liters of wash water. Refilled with 4,400 liters of ECOPOL 3% and 280 liters of ECOPOL 1%. - **MF Ørnes:** Removed 2,750 liters of old foam and 300 liters of wash water. Refilled with 3,600 liters of ECOPOL 3%. - **MF Bodø:** Removed 5,000 liters of old foam and 400 liters of wash water. Refilled with 5,000 liters of ECOPOL 3%. - **MF Trondenes:** Removed 200 liters of wash water and cleaned the tanks. Refilled with 4,600 liters of ECOPOL 3%. - **MF Hålogaland:** Removed 4,700 liters of old foam and 200 liters of wash water. Refilled with 5,200 liters of ECOPOL 3%. - **MF Vågan:** Removed 5,000 liters of old foam and 700 liters of wash water.

By safely removing old foam and applying new fluorine-free solutions with precision, we helped them meet their sustainability targets. We’re proud to support Torghatten in their efforts toward safer, cleaner, and more sustainable maritime practices. Together, we’re making a meaningful impact on environmental responsibility in the maritime industry. ## More articles - [NGP re-certified as Eco-Lighthouse](https://www.nordicgreenproducts.com/news/ngp-re-certified-as-eco-lighthouse/) - [IMO 2026 explained: what shipowners need to know about firefighting foam](https://www.nordicgreenproducts.com/news/imo-2026-firefighting-foam-requirements-explained/) - [DHL Shipping Available in Checkout](https://www.nordicgreenproducts.com/news/dhl-shipping-available-in-checkout/) - [PFAS free firefighting foam does not mean a PFAS free system](https://www.nordicgreenproducts.com/news/pfas-free-foam-vs-pfas-free-systems-explained/) - [Technical Training and Team Building in the Netherlands](https://www.nordicgreenproducts.com/news/technical-training-and-team-building-in-the-netherlands/) - [NGP Completes QC Review at A.I.M.
