(3) 7spinカジノ
Ships use ballast water to provide stability during a voyage. Usually seawater is pumped into the tank when cargo is unloaded, and the seawater then discharged at another port when cargo is loaded. 7spinカジノ treats marine species carried in ships’ ballast water and contributes to preserving biodiversity by preventing the transfer of aquatic organisms that could harm the marine environment.
(4) SOx (7spinカジノ) scrubber system
A system that uses seawater and chemicals to remove sulfur from ship exhaust gases.
