The growth in the expedition cruise sector and the need to be environmentally friendly are twin drivers for the freshwater generation solutions market.

Enwa global sales director Kjetil Øxnevad says “We have seen a dramatic increase in requests from smaller and more exclusive cruise ships which will operate in more sensitive waters. Therefore, environmental awareness has improved, and thus the opportunities for suppliers who can deliver products that meet and provide a positive environmental benefit for the vessels has increased.”

Enwa has recently delivered, or has on order, a number of its RO type Water Maker units for cruise ships, with fresh water capacities ranging up to 600 m³ a day
