Victoria's Hydroxyl Systems Inc. CleanSea Oxidation water purification system will be installed on three of BC Ferries' largest and busiest vessels: the Spirit of British Columbia, the Queen of New Westminster and the Northern Adventure.
CleanSea disinfects water generated by the vessels that's discharged in and around the Strait of Georgia.
More than a third of BC Ferries' vessels will be using Hydroxyl's purification system by mid-March.
Hydroxyl's ship-based purification systems are used by various cruise ship industry companies, including Royal Caribbean Cruises, Celebrity Cruises and Aker Yards ASA, which is building Genesis 1 and Genesis 2, two of the largest cruise ships in the world.
Hydroxyl was founded in 1993.
