TEMPE, Ariz., July 27, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EcoEmissions Solutions (OTCBB:ECMZ - News) is pleased to announce that the installation of its emissions-reducing Catalyst Injection System(TM) (CIS(TM)) on the vessel F/V Kodiak, one of the vessels featured on the Discovery Channel TV show, "The Deadliest Catch," has successfully reduced emissions and lowered fuel costs for the vessel.
The installation by Hatton Marine of Seattle, Washington, was part of the vessel's effort to "Go Green" and operate more efficiently. Almost immediately, the Kodiak crew reported that the black smoke from the exhaust had disappeared. Monitoring also proved that the main engines were now burning at least 6 gallons less fuel per hour than before the installation.
June 5, 2010 posting on F/V KODIAK Facebook page:
"Kodiak is on her way with good weather. There is big groundswell out of the west so some of the passengers are not feeling too well. The EcoEmissions seem to be working better than advertised. We are saving over 6 gallons an hour just on our mains. Wow!!"
The ship's owners, JLAX FISHERIES, LLC and the ship's Captain, "Wild Bill" Bill Wichrowski, asked EcoEmissions to install their system both to conserve fuel and to help preserve the pristine natural beauty of the Bering Sea where they work and where the series takes place. All involved were keenly aware that the profile presented on the show could help set a good example to those who travel and work by diesel engines across the oceans of the world.

The trial was so successful that the Kodiak, its crew, and its owners have gladly agreed to endorse the EcoEmissions CIS System and be shown in marketing materials, EcoEmissions' website, and at trade shows. Kodiak captain, "Wild Bill" Wichroski, has also agreed to work with EcoEmissions at marine trade shows and other venues to help spread the word to ship owners and the marine industry about the EcoEmissions system.
The owner's of the Kodiak stated that "Going Green" will be part of a competition in upcoming episodes. EcoEmission, is very proud that the Kodiak has chosen the CIS System from EcoEmissions and extend their thanks to Hatton Marine for a job well done.
Mr. Tom Bennett, VP of Sales and Marketing for EcoEmissions, commented that, "The TV show demonstrates how violent and unpredictable the Bearing Sea can be. This remote area is also environmentally sensitive. We are delighted that the captain of the Kodiak has taken steps to reduce the vessel's environmental footprint using our CIS System."
