What Value Maritime does
Value Maritime, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Rotterdam, Netherlands, operates as the maritime technology subsidiary of Value Group and develops the patented Filtree system — an integrated exhaust gas cleaning platform that combines SOx scrubbing with onboard CO2 capture in a single retrofit unit. The system achieves 98% SOx removal (meeting SECA area requirements), up to 90% PM2.5 reduction, and 99% PM10 removal, while simultaneously capturing CO2 directly from ship exhaust; the architecture is carbon-capture-ready with reserved onboard space for future capture module upgrades, and is designed as a plug-and-play retrofit compatible with LNG, biofuel, and methanol propulsion. Next-generation 15MW configuration units have been developed specifically for pure car and truck carrier (PCTC) vessels, with first installations scheduled for summer 2026.
The company sells to ship owners and operators primarily through direct enterprise field sales, with installations across 30+ vessels including work for Neptune Lines (PCTC), Solvang (ethylene carrier carbon capture trials), and engagement with Evergreen Marine Corp. Revenue is generated through three streams: hardware sales of Filtree systems, retrofit installation and professional services, and licensing of proprietary carbon capture technology. The company participates in maritime industry events (notably Posidonia 2026 in Athens), has joined INTERCARGO as an Associate Member, and has received €2 million in funding from the Rotterdam Energy Transition Fund in November 2024 for development of the Rotterdam CO2 hub.
Value Maritime's offering is positioned within a broader Value Group value chain that extends from onboard capture at sea to land-side processing, utilization, and storage via the Value Hub in Rotterdam and sister company Value Carbon. This end-to-end CCUS positioning — covering capture at sea, offloading, processing, and CO2 pathways to greenhouse/biomass/geothermal offtakers or underground storage — distinguishes the company from single-function scrubber vendors, though the firm remains early-commercial with 11–50 employees and a customer base concentrated among a small number of named enterprise operators.

Value Maritime product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Value Maritime designs, manufactures, and installs the patented Filtree exhaust gas cleaning system for maritime vessels. The system combines SOx scrubbing with onboard carbon capture capability, achieving 98% SOx removal, up to 90% PM2.5 reduction, and 99% PM10 reduction, while being carbon-capture ready for future IMO compliance. Through its sister entities Value Carbon and Value Maritime Services, the company extends its offering into the complete land-side CO2 value chain.
Product overview
Value Maritime operates as part of Value Group, offering a portfolio of maritime carbon capture and emission reduction technologies. The core product is the Filtree System, a SOx scrubber with integrated onboard carbon capture capability that can be retrofitted to vessels. Supporting the maritime products is Value Carbon, which manages the complete land-side carbon value chain from CO2 processing to storage and utilization. The Value Hub in Rotterdam provides the onshore infrastructure for CO2 handling. Together, these products form an end-to-end solution covering capture at sea, processing on land, and CO2 utilization or sequestration.

Value Maritime competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Alfa Laval: Established incumbent offering PureSOx marine exhaust gas cleaning systems and broader marine separation/heat transfer equipment; competes with Filtree for SOx scrubber retrofits across the global fleet.
- Wärtsilä: Major marine systems incumbent with Hamworthy exhaust gas cleaning/scrubber offerings and broader marine propulsion portfolio; directly competes with Value Maritime in SOx compliance retrofits.
Direct peers
- Langh Tech: Finnish scrubber specialist focused on marine exhaust gas cleaning system retrofits; comparable customer base and product scope to Value Maritime's Filtree SOx scrubber business.
- Yara Marine Technologies: Direct peer providing SOx scrubbers, fuel cells, and emissions reduction solutions for commercial shipping; targets the same shipowner retrofit buyer as Value Maritime.
- CarbonOrO: Direct peer in onboard maritime carbon capture; CarbonOrO develops post-combustion CO2 capture systems for ships and is the closest functional competitor to Value Maritime's integrated SOx + capture value proposition.
- Clean Marine: Supplier of marine exhaust gas cleaning systems for SOx compliance retrofits on commercial vessels; competes directly for the same retrofit projects as Value Maritime.
Others
- Northern Lights: CO2 transport and storage infrastructure joint venture that serves as a downstream sink for captured maritime CO2; ecosystem participant that complements rather than competes with Value Maritime's onboard capture business.
Emerging players
- Pacific Green Technologies: Holds ENVI-Marine and ENVI-Pure marine scrubber technologies; competes in the SOx scrubber retrofit space with a more software/system integrator-led go-to-market versus Value Maritime's hardware focus.
- CR Ocean Engineering: US-based marine scrubber supplier for SOx compliance retrofits on commercial vessels; comparable product offering and customer profile to Filtree system installations.
Regional players
- Shanghai Bluesoul: China-based scrubber manufacturer serving Asian shipowners with marine EGCS retrofits; regional competitor offering low-cost alternatives to Western scrubber suppliers like Value Maritime.
