Based in Singapore with deep roots in the Norwegian maritime sector, Clean Marine is a specialized technology provider focused on emission abatement and regulatory compliance for the global shipping industry. Founded in 2004 in Oslo, Norway, the company was an early pioneer in the development of Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (EGCS), commonly known as scrubbers. Over two decades, it has evolved from a niche engineering firm into a fully integrated manufacturer, supporting shipowners in meeting strict environmental standards, particularly the International Maritime Organization’s sulfur emission caps.
A pivotal moment in the company’s history occurred in early 2020 when Clean Marine AS merged with the Singapore-based exhaust gas cleaning specialist FMSI (formerly Feen Marine Scrubbers). This strategic combination consolidated engineering expertise and manufacturing capabilities, resulting in a unified entity operating under the Clean Marine brand. The merger transitioned the corporate headquarters to Singapore while retaining significant technical and commercial operations in Norway, ensuring continued proximity to European shipping hubs.
Unlike suppliers that rely heavily on outsourcing, Clean Marine maintains control over its value chain through a purpose-built manufacturing facility located in Batam, Indonesia. This 40,000-square-meter factory allows the company to oversee production, quality assurance, and logistics directly. By managing the process from the initial engineering phase through to fabrication and final installation, the company ensures that its systems are tailored to the specific operational profiles of diverse vessel types, including tankers, bulk carriers, and container ships.
While its core identity is tied to sulfur abatement, the company has expanded its scope to address broader decarbonization challenges. Recent operational developments include the integration of supplementary technologies such as air lubrication systems and research into carbon capture solutions. This diversification reflects a strategic shift toward offering a holistic suite of environmental technologies designed to improve vessel efficiency and reduce the overall carbon footprint of maritime trade. Today, Clean Marine serves a global client base, providing the hardware and technical support necessary for fleets to navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.
