Why Persistent Criticisms of Scrubbers Are Wrong?

  • Continued use of HSFO with exhaust gas cleaning systems has repeatedly been confirmed as an important part of the IMO’s policymaking arsenal.
  • Scrubber opponents’ argue that installing a scrubber relies on a persistently high price spread between LSFO and HSFO and that a spread of this kind will not last.
  • The recent analysis points to a significant stretch in the price gap between high-sulphur and low-sulphur fuels next year onwards which is universally anticipated.
  • The prices of LSFO and HSFO...

China’s Scrubber Restriction Zone To Be Expanded

  • BEIJING to expand its ECA limit where the discharge of wash water from open-loop exhaust gas cleaning system are prohibited.
  • Expansion  will require vessels with open-loop scrubbers to switch to complaint fuels when entering the ECA, potentially reducing savings upon using cheaper HSFO.
  • IMO has stipulated that discharged wash water should not be greater than 50 micrograms per litre phenanthrene equivalence above the inlet water PAH.
  • Chinese seawater quality standards have a cap of 0.0025...
