BIMCO: VLSFO premium of $200/tonne increases scrubber advantage

Niels Rasmussen, chief shipping analyst at BIMCO, says that the current $200 per tonne price spread between very low sulfur fuel oil (VLSFO) and high-sulfur fuel oil (HSFO) is increasing the advantage of ships fitted with exhaust gas scrubbers.

The price gap between VLSFO and HFSO has widened following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, although the price of HSFO could rise should the volumes of Russian HSFO coming into the market start declining due to sanctions.

Can exhaust gas scrubbers help clean up microplastics pollution?

Exhaust gas scrubber wash water usually gets a bad rap, with a number of ports and region’s banning its discharge into their waters. That could change.

Wärtsilä and the Grimaldi Group have unveiled a new system that uses exhaust gas scrubber wash water to tackle the amount of microplastics in the world’s oceans; a critical and growing global environmental challenge.

Grimaldi has developed and patented a system that filters out microplastics from open loop scrubber wash water, trapping plastic...

Foreship To Embrace Scrubber Technology

Expectations are high that exhaust gas scrubber technology demand will soon be resurgent. But what lessons have been learned from installations and which type will dominate, analyzes an Ship & Bunker article.

Scrubber systems on ships

Installing scrubber systems on ships that were never envisaged to have them on board has brought well documented challenges for older tonnage, with accurate drawings and documents sometimes hard to source. Where class documentation is concerned, meanwhile, different...
