STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Nov. 22, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- The Danish shipping line DFDS A/S, and the Norwegian shipping line, Havila Supply ASA have each placed one large order for Munters' (Other OTC:MUNTF) (Stockholm:MTRS) system for diesel emission control (NOx reduction).
The Danish shipping line DFDS A/S has ordered Munters Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Converter System to reduce the emissions of NOx from the auxiliary engines of MV "Pearl of Scandinavia" and MV "Crown of Scandinavia." The cruise liners operate on the Copenhagen-Oslo route. Munters SCR Converter System reduces emissions of NOx and other pollutants such as carbon monoxides and hydrocarbons with an efficiency up to 90 per cent.

All engines will be equipped with Munters SCR Converter System.
The total value of the two orders is SEK 8 million.
