Welcome to Our New Member, ERMA FIRST!

ERMA FIRST, now part of the broader ERMA TECH GROUP and headquartered in Greece, is a leading manufacturer of ballast water treatment systems (BWΤS) and sustainable marine equipment solutions. ERMA FIRST designs robust systems and solutions that ensure worldwide compliance, provide operational simplicity, and reduce operational expenditure, while significantly minimising the environmental impact of ship operations.

The company’s ERMA FIRST CARBON FIT is an advanced Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) technology, designed to help meet and exceed the International Maritime Organisation’s (IMO) stringent emission reduction targets. Our new member’s compact, efficient, and modular amine absorption system has been specifically developed for the maritime industry. It is also well-suited for small to mid-scale CO2 industrial emitters (typically up to 100-200 ktpa), such as power/cogeneration plants, district heating systems, and industries including pulp and paper, food, glass, steel processing, chemicals, and oil refining.
