A cleaner, safer process
We carried out foam replacement on seven Torghatten ferries, ensuring a controlled and environmentally responsible transition. Each vessel had its old foam removed, the system flushed with Fluor Clean Gel™, and tanks refilled with fluorine-free ECOPOL foam. Waste—including foam and wash water—was safely collected and disposed of.
Efficient operations, minimal downtime
To maximise efficiency and reduce cost, we serviced the ferries consecutively. This streamlined approach allowed for continuous work and smooth coordination—minimising operational disruption for Torghatten.
Completed operations
- MF Barøy: 4,000 L foam + 1,100 L wash water removed. Refilled with 4,400 L ECOPOL 3% + 280 L ECOPOL 1%.
- MF Ørnes: 2,750 L foam + 300 L wash water removed. Refilled with 3,600 L ECOPOL 3%.
- MF Bodø: 5,000 L foam + 400 L wash water removed. Refilled with 5,000 L ECOPOL 3%.
- MF Trondenes: 200 L wash water removed. Refilled with 4,600 L ECOPOL 3%.
- MF Hålogaland: 4,700 L foam + 200 L wash water removed. Refilled with 5,200 L ECOPOL 3%.
- MF Vågan: 5,000 L foam + 700 L wash water removed. Refilled with 5,800 L new foam.
- MF Selbjørnsfjord: 3,700 L foam + 600 L wash water removed. Refilled with 4,900 L ECOPOL 3%.
Trusted execution
This project was led in collaboration with Nordic Fire & Safety. Torghatten relied on our proven methods and technical expertise to support their environmental goals—reducing PFAS use while maintaining full fire safety compliance.
We’re proud to contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable maritime industry—one vessel at a time.
