Scrubber savings reach US$13 billion, reports Sea-Intelligence

According to Sea Intelligence, the IMO2020 regulations require the use of fuel oils containing less than 0.5% sulphur, such as Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO), or alternative compliance methods like exhaust gas cleaning systems, known as scrubbers.

Scrubbers enable shipping lines to utilize higher-sulphur fuel oils (IFO380), which are cheaper. With a growing number of scrubber installations, there’s a rising proportion of vessels capable of leveraging cost savings by opting for cheaper regular...

  • FuelTrust said that Ridgebury has established a carbon baseline for its Suezmax tanker, Ridgebury John Zipser.
  • For a relatively low cost, Ridgebury has been able to analyse the effects on vessel performance of installing a scrubber, a silicone hull coating.
  • FuelTrust added that it will also provide insight into optimal HFO outcomes compared to the continued use of very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) without a retrofit.

FuelTrust has announced that Ridgebury Tankers...

Σταμάτης Τσαντάνης: Τα scrubbers δεν φαίνεται να είναι λύση στο περιβαλλοντικό πρόβλημα

Τα τελευταία χρόνια έγιναν πολλές συζητήσεις και αναλύσεις για τη χρησιμότητα των scrubbers πλυντηρίδες καυσαερίων. Είναι δύο τύπων. Τα open loop scrubbers, δηλαδή συστήματα καθαρισμού που υγροποιούν τα καυσαέρια και τα ρίχνουν στη θάλασσα, σε αντίθεση με τα κλειστού τύπου scrubbers που τα αποθηκεύουν εν πλω αλλά θα πρέπει να τα αποθέτουν σε ειδικούς χώρους αποβλήτων στην ξηρά.

Όπως ορίζει η νομοθεσία Marpol Annex VI του Διεθνούς Ναυτιλιακού Οργανισμού- ΙΜΟ από την 1η Ιανουαρίου του 2020 είτε τα...

Ships that ‘scrub’ emissions earn twice as much as those that don’t

photo of a bunker tanker refueling a bulk ship

Some businesses fight new environmental regulations tooth and nail. Others figure out how to make money off them. Take the IMO 2020 regulation that slashed sulfur content of shipping emissions. Many shipowners have transformed this landmark global emissions regime into a huge competitive advantage.

Since the regulation’s enforcement date on Jan. 1, 2020, ships have had to use more expensive fuel with 0.5% sulfur content known as very low sulfur fuel oil (VLSFO), or fuels with even lower sulfur...
