In an effort to better serve cruise ship operators and yards with waste management systems, Norwegian companies Jets Vacuum and[ds_preview] Scanship have recently announced to join forces. Scanship’s Total Clean Ship System, which incorporates its Advanced Wastewater Purification and Waste Management solutions, will now be accompanied by Jets Vacuum’s highly acclaimed vacuum toilet system. »The result is a fully integrated waste and wastewater handling package that combines the very best technologies available from the companies«, it was said on occasion of the announcement.

Scanship has never ventured into the world of marine toilet systems, instead building its business around technologically advanced treatment and processing of waste. Jets Vacuum on the other hand, has never aimed to supply treatment systems to cruise ships, focussing solely on the supply of vacuum toilet systems for such large vessels. »Jets Vacuum does supply sewage treatment plants to smaller ships, but those units are nowhere near the size required by the cruise industry. So as we set our sights on penetrating more of the cruise ship market with our best-in-class vacuum toilet technology, we needed a partner with sophisticated treatment solutions. Scanship quickly emerged as the most promising candidate«, said Jets CEO Jan Tore Leikanger. In Germany, Steinbach Ingenieurtechnik is acting as agent of Jets Vacuum.

According to the partners, one major advantage of the agreement is that Scanship’s treatment systems and Jets Vacuum’s toilet systems are both flexible and offer great scalability, allowing for a high degree of customization. »The ability to truly tailor the toilet system and the waste treatment system to individual vessels, is expected to be a tremendous advantage for the pair, especially when taking into account the compact size and proven reliability of both companies’ technologies«, they said.
