They also meet many environmentally friendly standards such as CLEAN SHIP and green passport.

John Lightfoot, chairman of multi-award winning Solar Solve Marine is delighted that EVERGAS has seen the original order through to completion and did not cancel any of it. He commented, “China is a great market for us and they are still building a lot of vessels. Everyone is having to cut costs where they can but it is good for us that the products we manufacture and supply are still seen as essential.”
