SCRUBBER INSTALLATION
Services provide services towards the smooth operation
The International Maritime Organization introduced its so-called IMO 2020 fuel regulation January 1 in a move to cut emissions and ocean pollution. This limits sulfur levels in bunker fuels to 0.5% from the previous typical level of 3.5%, in shipping/s biggest regulatory change in decades. A scrubber installation allows a vessel operator to continue to buy cheaper high-sulfur HSFO fuel and separate out the excess sulfur onboard the vessel in what is effectively a mini refinery. The only other alternative is to purchase higher-cost low-sulfur LSFO fuel.
