Scrubber uptake falls 24 on year amid narrowing Hi-5 but numbers still to grow: BIMCO

摘要

The number of scrubber installations on ships looks set to rise over the coming year, judging by newbuildings orderbooks, despite a 24% fall on the year to 399 installations in 2022, according to shipping industry body BIMCO. There is a healthy price incentive to install the units, formally known as exhaust gas cleaning systems, but this incentive has been decreasing in recent months and this weighs on their outlook, BIMCO, said in a research note March 15.
