WELCOME


WEBINAR DATE & TIME: Thursday 3rd May (15:00 BST) 

With the IMO’s 2020 global sulphur cap deadline getting closer, owners and operators are faced with having to make a significant operational and commercial decision – whether to continue operating on low sulphur fuel, post 2020, or whether to finance the retrofitting of a scrubber system to the vessel.

Depending on the type of scrubber selected, retrofitting the system to an existing vessel can be a complex and expensive process. Setting aside the significant capital cost of the technology itself, the engineering required to integrate the scrubber system, supporting structure, pipework and all required modifications to the vessel can be vast.

Furthermore, there are three scrubber technologies available, each with their own unique benefits and drawbacks.


Learning Outcomes:

The retrofitting of a scrubber system to an existing vessel can be a complex and expensive process. This webinar aims to highlight some key considerations of each scrubber technology and prepare owners and operators for analysing their options...

  • The primary benefits and critical considerations of the open loop scrubber system

  • The primary benefits and critical considerations of the closed loop scrubber system

  • The primary benefits and critical considerations of the hybrid scrubber system
