- Action plan will be created to help shipowners and managers ensure their vessels are compliant with environmental legislation prohibiting oily discharge into the sea.
- Drydocks World-Dubai will increase its customer base by offering oil-to-water conversions while Thordon Bearings will benefit from supplying COMPAC equipment for upcoming conversion projects.
- Thordon will also provide equipment training and guidance to Drydocks World Dubai personnel to support the yard in the conversion projects.
