Reefership Marine Services cuts scrubber CEMS total cost of ownership with Danfoss IXA MES 1002
That was the business case behind Dole plc’s decision to adopt the Danfoss IXA MES1002 Scrubber CEMS, and the results speak for themselves.

Dole’s in-house ship management division, Reefership Marine Services, needed to reduce the total cost of ownership of their scrubber CEMS without compromising MARPOL compliance. Rising maintenance costs on their previous system led them to the in-situ scrubber CEMS from Danfoss IXA.
A pilot installation aboard the Dole Pacific confirmed the business case:
- Lower OPEX
- Crew-friendly operations and maintenance
- Reliable, continuous compliance monitoring
As Mr. Akshaye Arora, Director Vessel Management at Dole, shared:
“Our previous CEMS performed well in the beginning, but maintenance costs climbed steadily over time – to the point where a change became the only sensible decision. The transition to MES 1002 was smooth, and the technical support from Danfoss IXA during installation and commissioning on Dole Pacific was first-class. We are very pleased with the system’s performance.”
Danfoss IXA is proud to support Dole’s fleet with a solution that keeps operations simple, compliant and cost-efficient.
