Demonstrating awareness about marine environment protection
Brand positioning

 Global Echo

Global Echo, a South Korean company specialising in making ship scrubbers, was keen to promote its ‘MS-Sox’ product to global shipowners – an exhaust gas cleaning systems for ships – as demand for fitting the system into ships was on the increase.

The enforcement of new emission standards and rules by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) – the specialised agency of the United Nations that is responsible for regulating shipping – came into effect in 2020, which meant new laws limiting the amount of sulphur in ships’ fuels oil to a maximum of 0.5% and hence, lowering emissions and producing cleaner air. To comply ships needed an approved exhaust gas cleaning system (‘scrubber’) fitted.

Leveraging the power of the TradeWinds brand

Global Echo wanted to expand its reach and create awareness to a more global client base as most of their customers were local domestic shipowners. TradeWinds, not only has a large global subscriber base, but its main readers are shipowners.

A content marketing or ‘native’ article was written by our Content Studio team describing the benefits of installing the MS-SOx scrubber and how Global Echo can help guide you through the process.
